8.4.3 Understanding Nagios Alert Messages
The HP XC System Software provides several value-added plug-ins that can generate alert messages based
on patterns provided by various data sources, such as syslog and the Hardware System Event logs.
All these plug-ins use a common syntax to describe patterns and status to report on matches.
The rules that trigger alarms are configured in the following files:
• /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/selRules
Contains patterns for alerting on System Event Log messages
The selRules file can be modified as follows:
— Add a rule to this file for a new alert.
— Modify the corresponding rule to change an existing alert.
— Comment out a rule to remove the corresponding rule.
• /opt/hptc/nagios/etc/syslogAlertRules
Contains patterns for alerting on consolidated log entries.
