6.7.2 Checking the alarm definition file
You can use the jpctool alarm check command to check the alarm definition file.
In the following example, we check not only the syntax of the alarm definition file but also the details of the definition, such as whether PFM - Agent or PFM - RM defined in the file is set up, whether the record and field are supported, and so on.
-
Verify that the Name Server, Master Manager, and View Server services are running.
You can use the jpctool service list command to verify that the services of the Performance Management programs are running.
For example, execute the following command when you want to list the services running on the host host01:
jpctool service list -id "*" -host host01
When PFM - Manager is running on the host01, the output is as follows:
Host Name ServiceID Service Name PID Port Status --------- --------- -------------- ---- ---- ------ host01 PC1host01 Trap Generator 1468 1134 Active host01 PE1001 Correlator 1420 1114 Active host01 PH1host01 Action Handler 872 1116 Active host01 PM1001 Master Manager 1388 1104 Active host01 PP1host01 View Server 1504 1155 Active host01 PS1001 Master Store 632 1109 Active host01 PN1001 Name Server 484 8204 Active
In this example, the Name Server, Master Manager, and View Server services are all running.
For further details on the jpctool service list command, see the chapter that describes the command in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.
-
Execute the jpctool alarm check command.
Execute the command as follows:
jpctool alarm check -f /tmp/alarmtmp01.cfg
If any errors are found in the alarm definition file, an error message is generated for each error, indicating the detail of the error and the line number in the file.
You must check the messages, and then resolve the errors.
