Appendix D. Listing SP system resource variables

As described in Chapter 25, The Event Management subsystem, the PSSP software includes a number of resource monitors that collect resource data and send it to the Event Management subsystem. You can also install resource monitors that:

• Are supplied by other IBM products or third parties.
• Have been written by programmers at your installation.

Once all of these resource monitors are running, you might want to determine what resource data is being collected in the system.

There are several ways to do this:

• You can look in the load list files that contain the Event Management configuration data for each of the resource monitors in your system.

  These files contain the data that is loaded into the SDR as Event Management objects by the haemloadcfg command.

• You can use commands.

  You can use the PSSP SDRGetObjects command to list Event Management objects that have been stored in the SDR. You can use the AIX dspmsg and dspcat commands to list individual messages and the contents of message catalogs that contain descriptions of resource variables.

• You can use the SP Perspectives graphical user interface.

  You can use the Event Perspective portion of SP Perspectives to list information about the resource variables and instance vectors that have been defined in the system.

Note that there are no Event Management resource variables for dependent nodes.
