testtab - AgentMon subagent capability database
SYNOPSIS
$ENLIGHTEN/config/testtab.{HOSTNAME}
DESCRIPTION
testtab is the capability database for the AgentMon
subagent. The format is similar to other Unix system admin-
istrative files but is simplier to use. AgentMon accesses
this database when it starts up and frequantly checks it for
any changes. Each entry in the file describes one test that
AgentMon is capable of performing. Test may be dynamically
added and deleted without having to manually restart
AgentMon. At time of installation, this file may not yet
exit. When no testtab file exist, all default tests and all
test capability defaults are assumed and the testtab file is
automatically created. Each entry in this file represents a
test description . A test description consist of a line con-
taining the test name followed by additional lines contain-
ing a list of keywords and, possibly, values. There are
three types of keywords (capabliities) :
Boolean
Capabilities that have only two states (on/off,
enable/disable, etc) are specified by simply specifing
that capability name (to activate it), or by prepending
the name with an exclaimation mark ("!") to deactivate
it.
Numerics and Strings
A capability that requires a numeric (or alphabetic) is
specified by separating the capability name and value
with an equal sign.
All capabilities are delimited by colons (":") . Values
that must contain a colon must be escaped with a backslash.
Any test description line not terminated with a backslash is
assumed to be the last line of that test description.
CAPABILITIES
Name Type Default Comment
testfreq int 5 min testing interval (minutes)
alarmfreq int 60 min time between alarms.
notify str root to whom alarms are sent.
mailer str /bin/mail Program that will deliver
the alarm if a username
was given in 'notify'.
command str NULL The pathname of a process to
start when an
alarm condition occurs.
log boolean false Indicates weather logging

is enabled or not.
!log boolean true Indicates logging is
dissabled.
delta int/float 0 If logging is enabled,
the most recent value
measured will be logged
if it differs by at
least this amount from the
previously logged value.
If zero, always logs
pep boolean false If true, alarms will also be sent
to PEP age int 0 For monitoring queues
only. Age is in minutes.
If not zero, only files
more than 'age' minutes
old are counted as 'old' .
high int/float 0 High level alarm set point.
low int/float 0 Low level alarm set point.
+rate float 0.0 Positive rate change
set point. -
rate float 0.0 Negitive rate change
set point.
+jump int/float 0 Positive jump set point. -
jump int/float 0 Negitive jump set point.
testname str Testnames for built-in test
may not be altered.
regx_ R/E null regx1-regx31 are for File
Clamping tests. They hold the
lists of regular expressions used in the test.
units str "units" These are preset and
changes are silently
ignored.
NOTES
Most test measure integer values. Some measure floating
point values. Set point parameters should be given by using
the same variable type as the test result. However, failure
to comply will only result in rounding errors.
The jump and rate thresholds compare the current test value
with the last measured value. Therefore, they are compair-
ing change over time (testfreq) .
The values for the units capability are built-in and cannot
be changed. It is shown here for completeness as AgentMon
includes this field whenever it re-writes the testtab file
and whenever it is started with the -x command line option.
If the notify field is set to "nobody", i.e.
:notify=nobody:, then no email will be sent.
