mibmond, fsmond, lanmond, clustermond, pkgmond, svcmond - HA MIB Moni‐
tor daemon
SYNOPSIS
hostname] portnumber] timeout] retries] community]
DESCRIPTION
The daemon is used to monitor the SNMP MIBs for the Event Monitoring
Service (EMS) using SNMP. The daemon can monitor either local or
remote MIBs. includes a resource dictionary file which is used by the
Event Monitoring Service to identify resources for monitoring. The
program runs under different names depending on which resources are
being monitored.
Options
mibmond recognizes the following command-line options:
Write a syslog message every time SNMP is queried for a moni‐
tored
resource value.
Perform SNMP queries against
hostname. By default the local system is queried
to get the contents of the MIB.
Perform SNMP queries against
portnumber. This option is useful when querying
proxy SNMP agents. By default SNMP queries are
directed against the SNMP port (161).
Wait timeout seconds before retransmitting SNMP
requests. By default 5 seconds will expire
between retransmissions.
Attempt to retransmit SNMP requests
retries number of times before considering the
host unreachable. The default is to retransmit 3
times.
The community string to use with the SNMP requests. The string
"public" is used by default. For all nodes in a
Service Guard cluster, this community name must
be the same on all nodes.
Turn on internal daemon debugging messages.
This allows additional information to be logged
to the /var/opt/resmon/log/mibmond.log file.
WARNING: This file grows without bound. Only
use this option if you really need a trace.
RESOURCES
The HA MIB Monitor monitors the following resources:
Cluster Status
(/cluster/status/<clusterName>)
Running as the process the MIB Monitor can provide status information
for systems and applications in an MC/ServiceGuard cluster.
The MIB variable hpmcClusterState, which is part of the hp-mcCluster
MIB, provides the cluster status information.
Possible values are:
The node can access the cluster.
The node may be separated from other active cluster elements
(for example the heartbeat LAN) and has insufficient information
to tell if the cluster is accessible.
The node cannot access the cluster.
Local Node Status
(/cluster/localNode/status/<clusterName>)
The status of the cluster software on a given node.
The MIB variable hpmcNodeStatus, which is part of the hp-mcCluster MIB,
provides the local node status information.
Possible values are:
Node is accessible and operating normally.
Node's daemon has started, but is not ready to
communicate with other nodes' daemons.
Node is running protocols to make sure all other
nodes agree to the new membership in the cluster.
The cluster status may be DOWN.
Node has been removed from the cluster, with the cmhaltnode
command, for example.
Node is no longer a member of an active cluster.
Package Status
(/cluster/package/package_status/<packageName>)
Running as the process the MIB Monitor can provide information about
the status of an MC/ServiceGuard package on a node/cluster.
The MIB variable hpmcSGPkgStatus, which is part of the HP-MCSG (Ser‐
viceGuard) MIB, provides the package status information.
Possible values are:
The package is running on the local node.
The package is not running on the local node, but may be running
on another node in the cluster.
The package is not running on any node in the cluster.
The package status is unavailable since the monitor currently does
not have sufficient information to determine the package status.
Service Status
(/cluster/package/service_status/<packageName>/<serviceName>)
Running as the process the MIB Monitor can provide information about
the status of an MC/ServiceGuard package service on a node/cluster.
The MIB variable hpmcSGPkgSvcStatus, which is part of the HP-MCSG (Ser‐
viceGuard) MIB, provides the package service status information.
Possible values are:
The service is running on the local node.
The service is not running on the local node, but may be running
on another node in the cluster.
The service is not running on any node in the cluster.
The service status is unavailable since the monitor currently does
not have sufficient information to determine the service status.
LAN Interface Status
(/net/interfaces/lan/status/<LANname>)
Running as the process the MIB Monitor can provide information about
the status of the LAN interfaces in a given node.
The MIB variable ifOperStatus, which is part of the MIB-2 MIB, provides
the LAN interface status.
Possible values are:
The LAN interface is sending and receiving packets.
The LAN interface is not passing operational packets.
System Resources
(/system/numUsers, /system/jobQueue1Min, /system/jobQueue5Min, /sys‐
tem/jobQueue15Min)
Running as the process the MIB Monitor can report the number of users
on the system and the system load as measured by the length of the run
queue.
The appropriate MIB variables in the computerSystem portion of the hp-
unix MIB provide these resource values.
Filesystem Available Space
(/system/filesystem/availMb)
Running as the process the MIB Monitor can report the number of
megabytes available for use in each filesystem on the node. Filesys‐
tems must be mounted and active to be monitored. NFS filesystems are
not monitored.
The resource values are derived from the fileSystemBavail and fileSys‐
temBsize MIB variables of the hp-unix MIB.
