How RMC and the resource managers enable you to monitor resources

RMC and the resource managers together provide sophisticated monitoring and response capabilities that enable you to detect, and in many cases correct, system resource problems such as a critical file system becoming full.

You are able to monitor virtually all aspects of your system resources and specify a wide range of actions to take — from general notification or logging capabilities we provide to more targeted recovery responses you define.

The resource monitoring capability is largely provided by the event response resource manager (although you are typically monitoring dynamic attribute values provided by the host resource manager, file system resource manager, and sensor resource manager). The event response resource manager provides a set of commands that enable you to monitor events of interest (called conditions) and have the RMC system react in particular ways (called responses) if the event occurs.
