HA Database Monitor Command-Line Options
Perform additional HA Database Monitor configuration by using the
following command-line options.
Specify one or more of the below listed options in the MONITOR statement
of the dictionary file for each monitor. For example, within the file:
/etc/opt/resmon/dictionary/mibmond.dict.
-c community The community string to use with the SNMP requests.
The string public is used by default.
-d Turn on internal daemon debugging messages to get a
trace. This allows additional information to be logged
to the /var/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log file.
CAUTION The /var/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log file grows
without bound. Only use the -d option if you really
need a trace.
-h hostname Perform SNMP queries against specified hostname. By
default the local system is queried to get the contents of
the MIB.
-l Write a syslog message every time SNMP is queried for
a monitored resource value
-p portnumber Perform SNMP queries against specified port number.
This option is useful when querying proxy SNMP
agents. By default SNMP queries are directed against
the SNMP port (161)
-r retries Attempt to retransmit SNMP requests retries
number of times before considering the host
unreachable. The default is to retransmit 1 time.
-t timeout Wait timeout number of seconds before retransmitting
SNMP requests. By default, 5 seconds will expire
between retransmissions.
