RTM
RTM manages the creation, state machine, and execution of monitor policies.
EAA monitor policies
A monitor policy specifies the event to monitor and actions to take when the event occurs.
You can configure EAA monitor policies by using the CLI or Tcl.
A monitor policy contains the following elements:
•
One event.
•
A minimum of one action.
•
A minimum of one user role.
•
One running time setting.
For more information about these elements, see "
Elements in a monitor policy
Event
shows types of events that EAA can monitor.
Table 9
Monitored events
Event type Description
CLI
CLI event occurs in response to monitored operations performed at the CLI. For example,
a command is entered, a question mark (?) is entered, or the
Tab
key is pressed to
complete a command.
Syslog
Syslog event occurs when the information center receives the monitored log within a
specific period.
NOTE:
The log that is generated by the EAA RTM does not trigger the monitor policy to run.
Process
Process event occurs in response to a state change of the monitored process (such as an
exception, shutdown, start, or restart). Both manual and automatic state changes can
cause the event to occur.
Hotplug
Hotplug event occurs when the monitored card is inserted or removed while the device is
operating.
Interface
Each interface event is associated with two user-defined thresholds: start and restart.
An interface event occurs when the monitored interface traffic statistic crosses the start
threshold in the following situations:
•
The statistic crosses the start threshold for the first time.
•
The statistic crosses the start threshold each time after it crosses the restart threshold.
SNMP
Each SNMP event is associated with two user-defined thresholds: start and restart.
SNMP event occurs when the monitored MIB variable's value crosses the start threshold
in the following situations:
•
The monitored variable's value crosses the start threshold for the first time.
•
The monitored variable's value crosses the start threshold each time after it crosses the
restart threshold.
