The daemon
reads the /etc/evmdaemon.conf configuration file
at system startup and whenever you issue a reload request by using
the evmreload command. For a complete description
of the contents and syntax for the configuration file, see evmdaemon.conf(4). Example 3-1 “Sample Daemon Configuration File Entries” shows some sample
entries in the daemon configuration file.
Example 3-1 Sample Daemon Configuration File Entries
# Event template directory: |
/* This statement identifies the top of the directory hierarchy for all event template files.*/
sourcedir "/usr/share/evm/templates" /* These commands start the evmlogger and the evmchmgr components as synchronized clients, ensuring that both clients complete their subscription requests before the daemon accepts any events from posting clients. The command line options for these commands define the clients' log files and, in the case of the logger, an output file that is used to make operational details available to the evmlog event channel functions. */ |

# Start the Event Manager Logger start_sync "/usr/sbin/evmlogger -o /var/run/evmlogger.info \
-l /var/evm/adm/logfiles/evmlogger.log"
# Start the Event Manager Channel Manager start_sync "/usr/sbin/evmchmgr -l \/var/evm/adm/logfiles/evmchmgr.log" /* These statements define the event_get event retrieval service, which the evmget command uses to retrieve events. */
# Event retrieval service definition: service {
name event_get
command "/usr/sbin/evmget_srv"
}
/* These statements define an activity monitor. In this example, if 500 or more events are received during any ten minute period, the daemon posts a high-priority event to alert the system administrator. Activity monitoring (counting of events) is then suspended for the hold-off period of four hours (240 minutes). */
# Set up an activity monitor: activity_monitor {
name event_count
period 10
threshold 500
holdoff 240

If you make any changes to the configuration file, you must
enter the evmreload command to inform the daemon
of these changes. For more information, see evmreload(1M).
