mon_statd service utility syntax

If you run the mon_procd daemon through the service utility, you configure the daemon through specifications in a configuration file.


1 
2.1 service mon_statd
2.1 /etc/init_d/mon_statd
2.1  start
2.1  stop
2.1  status
2.1  restart
Where:
start
enables monitoring of guest process data, using the configuration in /etc/sysconfig/mon_statd.
stop
disables monitoring of guest process data.
status
shows current status of guest process data monitoring.
restart
stops and restarts guest process data monitoring. Useful in order to re-read the configuration file when it has changed.

Configuration file keywords

PROC_INTERVAL="<n>"
specifies the desired sampling interval in seconds.
PROC="yes | no"
specifies whether to enable the mon_procd daemon. Set to "yes" to enable the daemon. Anything other than "yes" will be interpreted as "no".

Examples of service utility use

  • This example sets the sampling interval to 30 seconds and enables the mon_procd:
    PROC_INTERVAL="30"
    PROC="yes"

Example of mon_statd use (note that your output might look different and include messages for other daemons, such as mon_fsstatd):

  • To enable guest process data monitoring:
    > service mon_statd start
    ...
    Starting mon_procd:[ OK ]
    ...
  • To display the status:
    > service mon_statd status
    ...
    mon_procd (pid 1075, interval: 30) is running.
    ...
  • To disable guest process data monitoring:
    > service mon_statd stop
    ...
    Stopping mon_procd:[ OK ]
    ...
  • To display the status again and check that monitoring is now disabled:
    > service mon_statd status
    ...
    mon_procd is not running
    ...
  • To restart the daemon and re-read the configuration file:
    > service mon_statd restart
    ...
    stopping mon_procd:[ OK ]
    starting mon_procd:[ OK ]
    ...
