DESCRIPTION
The term event channel describes any facility used to publish or retrieve event information. It might
refer to any of the following:
• A simple log file
• An event management system
• A program that runs in order to obtain a snapshot of status information
The EVM channel configuration file,
evmchannel.conf
, defines the available event channels and the
functions that operate on them. The file is read by:
• The EVM channel manager,
/usr/sbin/evmchmgr
, to identify the available channels, and to
determine when to run monitoring and cleanup functions.
• The
evmshow command, when it is invoked with the -d or -x option, to identify the channel to
which each event belongs, and the program that must be run to produce a detailed view or an
explanation of the event
• The
evmget server program, /usr/sbin/evmget_srv
, to identify the available channels
and their event retrieval functions
Refer to the evmchmgr(1M), evmshow (1), and evmget (1) manpages for more information.
The channel configuration file is a text file containing keyword/value or keyword/group pairs. Values con-
taining spaces must be enclosed in double quotes.
Any portion of a line from an unquoted number sign (
#) to the end of line is a comment. Blank lines are
ignored.
The following keywords are recognized:
path ch_path
The ch_path variable specifies a default directory containing executable programs that per-
form the various channel functions. This path may be overridden by a ch_path variable
specified for an individual event channel. The syntax for a global path and a channel
specific path are the same.
cleanup_time [[hh:]mm:]ss
The time of day when the EVM channel manager executes the channel cleanup function,
specified by the fn_cleanup keyword, for each channel. If no cleanup time is specified,
the default is 2:00 a.m. local time. For example, cleanup_time 02:00:00. The chan-
nel manager executes cleanup functions sequentially.
channel The channel keyword introduces a channel definition. The configuration keywords and
values for each channel must be enclosed in braces. There is no limit to the number of chan-
nel definitions that can be included in the file.
