1. Run the monconfig utility by entering the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# /etc/opt/resmon/lbin/monconfig
2. Enter Lat the main menu selection prompt.
A complete list of the available monitors and the hardware each monitor supports is displayed.
Identify the name of the desired monitor and then proceed with the monitoring request task.

monitoring requests, you must examine the current monitoring requests. By examining the current
requests, you can determine what additional requests are required to implement your monitoring
and notification strategy.

are inactive. For information on viewing only the active monitoring requests, see “Checking Detailed
Monitoring Status ” (page 36).
