D-24 Customizing the DecisioNet System
Log Monitor Configuration File
The Log Monitor configuration file, logmon.cfg, is stored in the
Windows NT \epl\data directory and in the UNIX /appl/epl/data
directory in a default system. The default file is shown in Appendix C.
This file contains user-defined recommendations, and identifies which
errors cause an alert to be generated. Two sections of data may appear
in the logmon.cfg file: an alert criteria section and a corrective
action message section.
The configuration file format is as follows:
Alert Criteria section:
[SOURCE]
SEVERITY, "alert criteria message text"
SEVERITY, "alert criteria message text"
...
Corrective Action section:
ERRNUM, "corrective action message text"
...
SOURCE is the name of any process that logs error messages to the
EPL System Error log, and SEVERITY is any one of the following:
SUCCESS, INFORMATION, WARNING, or ERROR.
For each error logged in the EPL System Error log, the source and
severity are looked up in the alert criteria section of the logmon.cfg
file If a match exists, Log Monitor generates an alert for that error.
ERRNUM is the error number associated with the corrective action
message that follows. If an alert has been generated for a process
name and severity that matches the criteria in section 1, the Log
Monitor looks for a corrective action message that matches the Error
Number associated with the process severity error in section 2. The
corresponding corrective action message is added to the report.
