NAME

moncfg - Configures a 3rd party monitoring software to monitor the xCAT cluster.

SYNOPSIS

moncfg [-h| --help]

moncfg [-v| --version]

moncfg name [noderange] [-r|--remote]

DESCRIPTION

This command is used to configure a 3rd party monitoring software to monitor the xCAT cluster. For example, it modifies the configuration file for the monitoring software so that the nodes can be included in the monitoring domain. The operation is performed on the management node and the service nodes of the given nodes. The operation will also be performed on the nodes if the -r option is specified, though the configuration of the nodes is usually performed during the node deployment stage.

Parameters

name is the name of the monitoring plug-in module. For example, if the name is called xxx, then the actual file name that the xcatd looks for is /opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_monitoring/xxx.pm. Use monls -a command to list all the monitoring plug-in modules that can be used.

noderange specifies the nodes to be monitored. If omitted, all nodes will be monitored.

OPTIONS

-h | --help Display usage message.

RETURN VALUE
