Event Monitoring Service (EMS)
The Event Monitoring Service (EMS) Version A.03.30 is a framework
that is used to monitor various system resources. On HP-UX 11i Version
1.5 (B.11.20), EMS provides base-level functionality and support for
EMS hardware monitors. It does not provide HP-UX 11i release
equivalent functionality. EMS will increase its functionality in the future
as more monitors are developed for this operating system.
In this release, EMS is the underlying platform for the EMS hardware
monitors. Customers are expected to use EMS only to configure
monitoring requests for two EMS Hardware Monitors: the Kernel
Resource Monitor (krmond), and the Peripheral Status Monitor (PSM).
The EMS High Availability monitors are not available for HP-UX 11i
Version 1.5 (B.11.20). The EMS MIB monitor (mibmond) is also not
available.
EMS Size Requirements
• The disk space requirement is 2.75MB. An additional 13MB of disk
space should be allocated in /etc/opt to support EMS logging
facilities.
• The memory requirement is 3MB.
