7.3.4 Example of using an alarm when collecting information about the application operating status
This subsection provides an example of using an alarm with the function that collects information about the application operating status.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Monitoring the startup status of a specific process
The following explains settings for monitoring whether a specific process is running, from several monitoring targets.
For environments in which only one of the following processes is normally running, the following procedure sets an abnormal alarm to be reported when multiple processes (two or more) are started or stopped.
|
Process name |
Command line |
|---|---|
|
GyoumuProcess |
GyoumuProcess -a 1 |
-
Set the instance name for ADD AN APPLICATION MONITORING SETTING in the ADDITION OR DELETION A SETTING tree as follows:
GyoumuProcess Monitor
-
Set the GyoumuProcess Monitor property generated in the Application monitoring setting tree as follows:
Process01 Kind: Select Execute. Process01 Name: Enter GyoumuProcess. (Enter the process name) Process01 Range: Specify 1-1.
As a result of the above settings, when the process is running, the values of the Process01 Count, Process01 Status, and Application Status fields in the PD_APP record are displayed as follows in the report.
Table 7‒11: Results for the values of each field in the PD_APP record Field name
Value
Process01 Count
1#1
Process01 Status
NORMAL#2
Application Status
NORMAL#2
- #1
-
This indicates the number of corresponding processes running.
- #2
-
This indicates that there is no issue.
-
Specify alarm settings as follows:
Record: Select Application Summary (PD_APP). Monitored field: Select Application Name. Condition: Select =. Abnormal value: Enter GyoumuProcess Monitor. Warning value: Enter GyoumuProcess Monitor.
After specifying the above settings and clicking the Add button, specify these additional settings:
Record: Select Application Summary (PD_APP). Monitored field: Select Application Status. Condition: Select <>. Abnormal value: Enter NORMAL. Warning value: Enter NORMAL.
Alarm conditions are evaluated using AND. To monitor only the results for Application Status without specifying an instance, specify only Application Status, <>, and NORMAL.
(2) Monitoring the startup status of a process containing arguments
The following explains settings for monitoring whether a process containing arguments is running.
The following procedure sets an abnormal alarm to be reported when the following process containing arguments stops.
|
Process name |
Command line |
|---|---|
|
GyoumuProcess |
GyoumuProcess -a 1 |
-
Set the instance name for ADD AN APPLICATION MONITORING SETTING in the ADDITION OR DELETION A SETTING tree as follows:
GyoumuProcess Monitor
-
Set the GyoumuProcess Monitor property generated in the Application monitoring setting tree as follows:
Process01 Kind: Select Command Line. Process01 Name: Enter GyoumuProcess. (Enter the command line) Process01 Range: Enter 1-1.
As a result of the above settings, when the process is running, the values of the Process01 Count, Process01 Status, and Application Status fields in the PD_APP record are displayed as follows in the report.
Table 7‒13: Results for the values of each field in the PD_APP record Field name
Value
Process01 Count

Application Status
NORMAL#2
- #1
-
This indicates the number of corresponding processes running.
- #2
-
This indicates that there is no issue.
-
Specify alarm settings as follows:
Record: Select Application Summary (PD_APP). Monitored field: Select Application Name. Condition: Select =. Abnormal value: Enter GyoumuProcess Monitor (the instance name set in step 1). Warning value: Enter GyoumuProcess Monitor (the instance name set in step 1).
After specifying the above settings and clicking the Add button, specify these additional settings:
Record: Select Application Summary (PD_APP). Monitored field: Select Application Status. Condition: Select <>. Abnormal value: Enter NORMAL. Warning value: Enter NORMAL.
Alarm conditions are evaluated using AND. To monitor only the results for Application Status without specifying an instance, specify only Application Status, <>, and NORMAL.
(3) Monitoring whether multiple processes are all running
The following explains settings for monitoring whether monitored processes are all running.
The following procedure sets an abnormal alarm to be reported when at least one of the following five processes has stopped, but not to be reported when they are all running.
|
Process name |
Command line |
|---|---|
|
GyoumuProcess1 |
GyoumuProcess1 -a 1 |
|
GyoumuProcess2 |
GyoumuProcess2 -a 2 |
|
GyoumuProcess3 |
GyoumuProcess3 -a 3 |
|
GyoumuProcess4 |
GyoumuProcess4 -a 4 |
|
GyoumuProcess5 |
GyoumuProcess5 -a 5 |
-
Set the instance name for ADD AN APPLICATION MONITORING SETTING in the ADDITION OR DELETION A SETTING tree as follows:
GyoumuProcess Monitor
-
Set the GyoumuProcess Monitor property generated in the Application monitoring setting tree as follows:
Process01 Kind: Select Execute. Process01 Name: Enter GyoumuProcess*.# Process01 Range: Enter 1-5.
- #
-
The wildcard character * is used for the process number. The wildcard character ? can also be used, in place of a single character.
As a result of the above settings, when the five processes are running, the values of the Process01 Count, Process01 Status, and Application Status fields in the PD_APP record are displayed as follows in the report.
Table 7‒15: Results for the values of each field in the PD_APP record Field name
Value
Process01 Count
5#1
Process01 Status
NORMAL#2
Application Status
NORMAL#2
- #1
-
This indicates the number of corresponding processes running.
- #2
-
This indicates that there is no issue.
-
Specify alarm settings as follows:
Record: Select Application Summary (PD_APP). Monitored field: Select Process01 Count. Condition: Select <. Abnormal value: Enter 5. Warning value: Enter 5.
If all five processes are running, no alarm is reported. An alarm is reported when at least one process stops. Since alarm conditions are evaluated using AND, an abnormal alarm cannot be set to report for a running process count other than from 1 to 5.
(4) Monitoring whether a given process is running when there are multiple processes for which the first 31 bytes of the names are the same
The following explains settings for monitoring whether a given process is running when there are multiple processes for which the first 31 bytes of the names are the same.
The following procedure sets an abnormal alarm to be reported when either of the following two processes is running and multiple 1234567890123456789012345678901A processes are started or stopped.
|
Process name |
Command line |
|---|---|

1234567890123456789012345678901A -A |
|
1234567890123456789012345678901B |
1234567890123456789012345678901B -B |
-
Set the instance name for ADD AN APPLICATION MONITORING SETTING in the ADDITION OR DELETION A SETTING tree as follows:
Long Name Process Monitor
-
Set the Long Name Process Monitor property generated in the Application monitoring setting tree as follows:
Process01 Kind: Select Execute. Process01 Name: Enter 1234567890123456789012345678901A. Process01 Range: Enter 1-1.
As a result of the above settings, when only one 1234567890123456789012345678901A process is running, the values of the Process01 Count, Process01 Status, and Application Status fields in the PD_APP record are displayed as follows in the report.

After specifying the above settings and clicking the Add button, specify these additional settings:
Record: Select Application Summary (PD_APP). Monitored field: Select Application Status. Condition: Select <>. Abnormal value: Enter NORMAL. Warning value: Enter NORMAL.
In addition to the above monitoring, to monitor the 1234567890123456789012345678901B process using a monitoring method other than what has already been used, use an instance name different than the one above, and add the instance name to the condition in the Application Name field of the alarm setting.
(5) Monitoring whether a process in the global zone environment is running when PFM - Agent for Platform is installed in a Solaris global zone environment
The following explains settings for monitoring whether a process is running in a monitored global zone.
When the following process is running in both of the global zone environment and a non-global zone environment, the following procedure sets an abnormal alarm to be reported when multiple processes are running or stopped in the global zone.
