Understanding Multiple-View and Non-Multiple-View Monitor Classes
EMS Hardware Monitors are divided into two classes: Multiple-View and Non-Multiple-View. Multiple-View
monitors allow you to specify different event messages (for the same monitor) to one or more targets
("clients"). Targets may have different requirements for events, so event messages can be configured to be
unique for each target. Non-Multiple-View monitor event messages are generated in the same way for all
targets.
Within these two monitor classes, there are configuration files that control the operation of each hardware
event monitor. Both classes of monitors use the Global and Monitor-specific configuration files (.cfg) to
configure required monitor settings such as POLL_INTERVAL. In addition, Multiple-View monitors also use
the Client Configuration file (.clcfg). The client configuration file allows you to configure different event
messages for multiple targets.
Monitor Configuration File Types
The following configuration files control the operation of each hardware event monitor:
•
Global monitor configuration file. The settings defined in this file are used for all monitors, unless
overridden by a monitor-specific or client configuration file.
•
Monitor-specific configuration file. Each monitor includes its own configuration file with optimized
settings. Settings defined in the monitor-specific file override comparable settings defined in the global
configuration file.
•
Client configuration file. With Multiple-View hardware monitors, you can create a different Client
Configuration File (*.clcfg) for each target. Settings defined in the client configuration file override
comparable settings defined in either the global or monitor-specific configuration files.
NOTE
For Multiple-View monitors, settings not defined in the Client Configuration File (*.clcfg) such
as the POLL_INTERVAL, must be defined in either the Global or Monitor-specific
configuration file (*.cfg).
