lsmssurv

Surveillance Monitor Control

Starts, stops, and retrieves the status of the Surveillance Monitor.

The notification output from the Surveillance Monitor is written to Serial Port 3 on each server. The non-active server, whether its state is STANDBY or UNINITIALIZED "INHIBITED", sends surveillance notifications only for platform events that it detects on itself. It also forwards those notifications to the active server.

• The active server sends surveillance notifications for:

  • All platform events that the active server detects on itself

  • All platform notifications received from the non-active server (the active server inserts the hostname of the non-active server before the event text for these notifications)

  • Some applications events (not all application events generate surveillance notifications; for more information, see Automatic Monitoring of Events).

By default, all notification output that is sent to Serial Port 3 on a given server is written also to the log file on that server, /var/TKLC/lsms/logs/survlog.log. (See “Files”.)
