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 13
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 a card is inserted in or removed from the monitored slot.
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.
SNMP-Notification
SNMP-Notification event occurs when the monitored MIB variable's value in an SNMP
notification matches the specified condition. For example, the broadcast traffic rate on
an Ethernet interface reaches or exceeds 30%.
