e
evmdaemon.conf(4) evmdaemon.conf(4)
locations. If specified, the daemon uses this value internally to evaluate filter strings that refer-
ence pre-created filter files, and also passes it to service programs such as the event retrieval
service program, evmget_srv , by exporting the environment variable
EVM_FILTERDIR.
This makes the path available to the event channels’ get-function scripts. The default value for
this keyword is
/usr/share/evm/filters
. See the evmfilterfile(4) manpage for more
information.
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.
activity_monitor
A parameter group that controls a daemon event monitoring facility. An
activity_monitor
definition consists of:
name detector
The type of detector controlled by the group parameters.
period detect_period
The size, in minutes, of a periodically sliding time window over which events will be
counted.
threshold detect_thold
The number of events that will activate the monitor if counted in period.
holdoff detect_delay
The time delay, in minutes, after activation of the activity monitor occurs before moni-
toring is resumed. The evmreload command will reset the delay.
service
Defines services that are available through the daemon. A service definition consists of the name
of the service and the command line that will be invoked when this service is requested. User-
defined services are not currently supported.
A service definition consists of:
name service_name
The name given to the service.
command service_command
The command to be invoked when this service is requested. This command should be
enclosed in double quotation marks (").
The keywords described may be entered in a case-insensitive manner. The allowable strings and the
minimum number of characters is shown in the following table. A minimum of zero (0
) indicates that all
characters are required.
