Beginning SVM Monitoring

To use the AUDITOR utility, proceed as follows:

  1. Tailor the AUDALOG EXEC logon routine for use at your installation, or create your own autolog exec for logging on SVMs. In addition, you may want to create an exec for handling reader files received by AUDITOR. These execs are the user exit routines you will specify in your AUDITOR OPTIONS file.
  2. Tailor the AUDITOR OPTIONS file for use at your installation. If you are working with centrally managed systems and some of them have unique SVMs, create node control files for these systems.
  3. Create your own test execs, if desired. These execs are the test exits you will specify in your AUDITOR CONTROL file.
  4. XEDIT the AUDITOR PROFILE EXEC and uncomment the call to the AUDITOR EXEC. Change:
    /*'EXEC AUDITOR'*/
    to
    'EXEC AUDITOR'
  5. Tailor the AUDITOR CONTROL file for use at your installation.
  6. Start AUDITOR and test your input files and execs. To start AUDITOR, log on to the AUDITOR virtual machine and enter the command:
    profile
    Next, enter the STATE subcommand:
    state
    Once you have verified your input files and execs work correctly, enter the command
    #cp disc
    to disconnect your terminal from the system. The AUDITOR virtual machine will continue running AUDITOR.
