applications and services:
n
Tomcat running the CMS
n
CMS Postgres DB
n
DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd)
n
Amount of disk space for mount points, with specified thresholds. When the threshold is exceeded (for
example, 80% of the data disk), an alarm is generated.
For the DB Nameserver virtual machine, you use aurora_mon to monitor the state of the following applications
and services:
n
LDAP
n
DHCP client daemon (dhcpcd)
n
Amount of disk space for mount points, with specified thresholds. When the threshold is exceeded (for
