Considerations for Modifying the Startup Configuration File Settings
HP recommends that you use the monconfig utility to create and manage your monitoring requests.
Using the monconfig utility, you can create requests for multiple monitors simultaneously. The
monconfig utility ensures that all request entries are formatted correctly.
Editing the configuration file enables you to use the COMMENT setting to add information that is
included in the event.
