DESCRIPTION
The Event Manager (EVM) daemon configuration file, evmdaemon.conf
, is a text file that contains com-
mands used to configure and start the Event Manager. Any portion of a line from an unquoted number
sign (
#) to the end of line is a comment. Blank lines are ignored. The following commands are recognized:
authentdir directory
Names the directory that is used to hold temporary authentication files. The default is
/var/evm/shared.
sourcedir directory
Names the root of the directory structure that should be searched for event template files. The
default is /usr/share/evm/templates
.
authtimeout time_seconds
Time to wait for a newly established client to respond to an authentication request. The default
is 10 seconds.
synctimeout time_seconds
Time within which a synchronized client must achieve synchronization completing a connection
request and subscribing for events. The default is 30 seconds.
start_sync command
The complete command line for programs that should be started as synchronized clients when
the daemon starts. This command should be enclosed in double quotation marks (").
max_msg_size message_size
The maximum number of bytes the daemon will accept from any connection in a single message.
If a client attempts to send a message that is longer than the specified size, the daemon immedi-
ately terminates the connection without reading the message. This keyword can be used to limit
the sizes of events that can be posted, to prevent the daemon from consuming excessive amounts
of memory or CPU time by handling very large events.
Note: Setting this value too low may prevent normal system events from being posted.
If this keyword is not specified, a default value of 2 Mbytes is used. If the keyword is specified
and the supplied value is less than 200 Kbytes or greater than 10 Mbytes, it is set automatically
to the closest of those values.
The daemon accepts messages up to 200 bytes longer than the specified size to allow for com-
munication protocol overhead.
filterdir filter_dir
A colon-separated list of directories to be searched for filter files in place of the standard
