ADD EVENTS TEST
This window contains the following fields:
Hostnames
You can use this field to specify which host(s) will be configured
for this test. Leave a blank space between host names for multiple
entries. You can also click on the arrow button to the right to pop
up a pick list of all hosts within the current pool and make your
selection(s) from there.
Testname
Use this field to specify the name for your test. This must be the
full pathname of the file (directory) or process you want to monitor
Units of measure
This view-only field shows what the standard units of measure are
for this test.
Sub-command
This view-only field shows the Events-defined subcommand, if any,
this test will use during its execution.
Internal Test
This view-only field shows whether this test is an Events built-in
test (Yes) or a user-defined test (No).
Test Group
This view-only field shows the test group type for this test.
State
Use this toggle to turn the test On or Off (the default).
Severity
Use this toggle to specify what level of severity to assign this
test from the following message types:
+ OK
+ Informational (the default)
+ Warning
+ Error
+ Severe
Use PEP
Use this toggle to specify whether this test should use PEP to
report its results or filter any action to be taken. The default is
Yes.
Logging
Use this toggle to specify whether logging should be enabled for
this test. The default is Yes.
Delta
If you enabled Logging, you can use this field to establish a
"changed by" (delta) value. Enlighten will record the most recent
value measured by the test if that value differs by at least this
delta amount from the previously logged value.
See the "Events" chapter in the ENighten User Guide for more
details.
Mailer
You can use this field to specify which mail program should be used
to deliver any alarms to the User. The default is /bin/mail. If you
use another mail program, it must use the same syntax as the
standard UNIX mail program.
User
You can use this field to specify the user(s) who should receive any
alarm information. The default is root. Leave a blank space between
each user name for multiple entries. If you set this value to
nobody, no mail will be sent.
Use the Command field if you want to enter a process.
Command
You can use this field to specify any executable this test should
run when it sets an alarm. This can be a script or a compiled
executable.
Age
This field can specify a threshold for when a file is considered to
have "aged" in a directory. This value is only available if this
test will monitor a queue.
You can use this field to select (in minutes) what the "aged"
threshold is. Only files more than 'age' minutes old are counted as
'old'.
Test Freq
Use this field to specify how often to run this test. The default is
every 5 minutes.
Alarm Freq
Use this field to specify how long to wait before sending another
new alarm about this test. The default is every hour.
High Thresh
You can use this field to specify an absolute high level alarm set
point for the data you're measuring in this test. This can be an
integer or floating-point value.
Low Thresh
You can use this field to specify an absolute low level alarm set
point for the data you're measuring in this test. This can be an
integer or floating-point value.
Pos Rate
You can use this field to specify a positive percentage change alarm
set point for the data you're measuring in this test. This threshold
compares the current test value with the last measured value (check
for percentage of change since last tested). This must be a
floating-point value.
Neg Rate
You can use this field to specify a negative percentage change alarm
set point for the data you're measuring in this test. This threshold
compares the current test value with the last measured value (check
for percentage of change since last tested). This must be a
floating-point value.
Pos Jump
You can use this field to specify a positive incremental change
alarm set point for the data you're measuring in this test. This
threshold compares the current test value with the last measured
value (check for change of X points since last tested). This can be
an integer or floating-point value.
Neg Jump
You can use this field to specify a negative incremental change
alarm set point for the data you're measuring in this test. This
threshold compares the current test value with the last measured
value (check for change of X points since last tested). This can be
an integer or floating-point value.
API File
If you're creating an API test, use this field to specify the full
pathname of the file which will hold the results of your test.
See the "EVENTS" chapter in the ENighten User Guide for examples and
more details on creating API tests.
API Data
If you're creating an API test, use this field to specify which
field or column holds the data value to monitor. Use a digit
prefaced by an `f' for a field number or a `c' for a column number.
The default assumes this value is a field number. If you're using a
column designator, each character in any input file line/row is
handled as one column.
API Label
If you're creating an API test, you can use this field to specify
which field in your file contains a descriptive word or label.
Logfile Clamping Regular Expressions
You can use regular expressions to define "types" of messages based
upon pattern matching. When one or more of these message types are
found in a file, an alarm is sent to whatever agents you specify in
your test. Each time this test is run, it will only evaluate those
file entries which were added since the last occurrence of this
test.
For more information on regular expressions, see your on-line O/S
manual, section regx(3) (typically this is located in
/usr/man/man3).
Buttons
This window contains the following buttons:
Apply
Click on this button to add the test configuration defined in the
window to the testtab files for all specified hosts.
Note: Enlighten will be updated immediately, but the testtab file
will not be updated for another two minutes.
Set Defaults
Click on this button to set default values in the text fields based
on the test type category you previously specified in the Select New
Event Type window.
Close
Click on this button to discard any changes and close the window.
