Monitoring Within the Control Plane

Monitoring the control plane has three purposes:

• Monitoring I-Fabric devices for network accessibility

• Acting as a single point of contact for all critical events that can occur within an I-Fabric

• Monitoring the control plane server for availability

The monitoring manager on the CPDB monitors the health and performance of the control plane server. Messages are logged to appropriate log files as specified in the postinstall scripts for the TSPRmon and TSPRmlg packages. The log file locations are set using the command slconfig, which is not supported for use outside of the packages postinstall and preremove scripts.

See the slconfig man page for details on configuring these log files. The default locations for monitoring log files are /var/opt/terraspring/log/snmp.log and /var/opt/terraspring/log/mon.log.
