To Create a Module Table Task

Some Sun Management Center modules can only monitor an entity once the data parameters for that entity have been made known to the module. For example, for the File Monitoring module to function appropriately, you need to identify several specific items:

• The name of the file to be monitored

• A description of the file

• A table row index for displaying that information in the File Monitoring table

A module table task enables you to add entries as table rows to a group of module tables.

1. In the New Task window, type a name for the task in the Task Name field.

   The task name should describe the task. For example, if you are defining a task to monitor specific file, the task name might be Add monitoring for .cshrc file.

2. Choose Table from the Task Type menu.

3. Select the module to which this task applies from the Module Table menu.

   If the selected module is a multi-instance module, a window appears in which you type the module instance name.

4. Add a row, or modify or delete a row.

   • To add a row to a table, choose Add Row from the Table Action menu, and provide required values in the Add Row window as needed.

     For example, you might need to provide a Name (for example, CheckLog), Description (for example, log file), and a Filename (for example, /var/opt/SUNWsymon/cfg/sfix.log).

   • To modify a row in a table, choose Edit Row from the Table Action menu and modify values in the Edit Row window as needed.

     For example, you might need to change the name of the file that is being monitored.

     Note –

     The index value that you provide here must match an index value for an existing row in the table. If the value does not match, nothing will match to be modified.

     ---

   • To remove a row, choose Delete Row from the Table Action menu.

     In the Delete Row window, provide name, description, and file name information that exactly matches the row as the row currently exists in the table.

5. (Optional) Type a description for this task.

6. To confirm the definition of this task, click Add Task.

   You remain in the New Task window to define additional tasks.

   To clear the data for the existing task so that you can define another task, click Reset Form.

7. When you have finished defining your tasks, click Close to close the New Task window.
