AgentMon - workstation monitoring program w/wo SNMP

SYNOPSIS

AgentMon [ -t testname ]

AgentMon -x

DESCRIPTION

AgentMon monitors tests as defined in the text file testtab.{HOSTNAME} . This testtab file is expected to be in $ENLIGHTEN/config, where $ENLIGHTEN represent the top level product installation directory. Each test may also be remotely monitored and managed via SNMP. When a test value exceeds one or more of the user defined thresholds, AgentMon may emit an Enterprise Specific Trap, send an alarm via email, start a user specified program that could possiably take corrective action, and/or notifies PEP. The local user may define and alter tests by editing testtab.{HOSTNAME} . The network manager may manage tests by using the SNMP SET commands from most any SNMP compliant network managment application. All enterprise specific traps may be individually enabled and dissabled via SNMP . AgentMon does not rely upon SNMP and will run without hinderance in non- SNMP environments.

OPTIONS

-t testname: Disregard the normal testing interval for the named test and run the test every 15 seconds. (See RESTRICTIONS below )
-x: Causes AgentMon to print (to stdout) it's impression of the current tests configuration. The output is identical in form to the testtab file and represents the logical sum of the test defaults and the current contents of the testtab file. This is a good way of verifing that AgentMon understands your testtab edits.

NOTES

The testtab file does not exist prior to the first invocation of AgentMon It will however, be created immediately after startup.

DIAGNOSTICS

Complains and exits if a connection with the AgentENL (or other agent) can not be made. AgentMon will exit gracefully if communications with the agent goes away.

RESTRICTIONS

Only one test may be specified with the -t option. This is intended to be primarily a systems troubleshooting aid. The -t option has no effect on process monitoring. Processes are always checked every thirty seconds.
