jmonitor, jtool monitor

A platform agent tool used to send monitor data values from within OS processes.

This tool cannot be used outside job-context; the -j or -job-context parameter is implied.

The Java server creates monitor nodes, checks and values automatically if needed.

Since a monitor value can only be set on a MonitorValue, and a MonitorValue needs to have a MonitorCheck as its parent node, and a MonitorCheck node must have a MonitorNode as its parent, the path that is passed needs to contain at least three levels, for example /RootNode[/ChildNode...]/Check/Value.

note

Although you are free to use any path, it is highly recommended to store the values under /System/ProcessServer/${process_server}/Custom/; you can create child nodes there to group specific values.

Syntax

jmonitor [-h|-?|-help] [-l <loglevel>] [-f <logfile>] -j|-job-context <path>=<value> ...
ArgumentDescription
-h,-?,-helpShow this help and exit.
-l <loglevel>Set the logging level.
-f <logfile>Log to file instead of stdout/stderr.
-j, -job-contextRun the command in job-context
<path>A monitor path.
<value>The new value for the monitor node.

Example

Ping Statistics

The following is a basic KSH script that is designed to run Linux and report ping statistics for the server defined in parameter P_SERVER, the update interval is defined in P_TIME; it sets the value to 9999 when the ping command times out or returns invalid data.

prc=`jtool getpar ProcessServer -l info || echo "Could not determine process server name.";exit 2`

while (true)
do
ms= `ping -c1 $P_SERVER | head -n 2 | tail -n 1 | sed 's/.*=//;s/\.//;s/ .*//'`

[ $input -ge 0 ] || ms= 9999
jmonitor /System/ProcessServer/$prc/Custom/PingStat=$ms
sleep $P_TIME
done

UNIX/Windows Perl Script for Disk Space Statistics

The following example shows the script source of a Perl script that runs on Microsoft Windows and UNIX systems with a GNU-like df binary. It finds out how much free space exists on the fixed disk drives / partitions and stores that data in the monitor tree.

use strict;

my $processServer = `jtool getpar ProcessServer -l info` or die "Cannot determine process server name";
$processServer =~ s/\s+$//;
my $cmd = "jtool monitor -l debug";
my $MonitorPath = " /System/ProcessServer/".$processServer."/Custom/Diskspace";

if ($^O eq "MSWin32")
{
  require Win32::OLE;

  my $server = Win32::NodeName();
  my $FIXED_DRIVE = 3;
  my $NETWORK_DRIVE = 4;

  my $locatorObj = Win32::OLE->new('WbemScripting.SWbemLocator') || die "Error creating locator object: ".Win32::OLE->LastError()."\n";
  $locatorObj->{Security_}->{impersonationlevel} = 3;
  my $serverObj = $locatorObj->ConnectServer($server,'root\cimv2',"","") || die "Error connecting to $server: ".Win32::OLE->LastError()."\n";

  printf "Free diskspace on $server:\n\n";
  printf "%-14s %-14s %-14s %-4s\n","Drive","Size","Free", "Perc";
  printf "%-14s %-14s %-14s %-4s\n","-" x 5,"-" x 14,"-" x 14, "-" x 4;

  foreach my $drive (Win32::OLE::Enum->All($serverObj->InstancesOf("Win32_LogicalDisk")))
  {
    next if ($drive->{DriveType} != $FIXED_DRIVE);

    my $dr = $drive->{DeviceID};
    my $fs = $drive->{FileSystem};
    my $sz = $drive->{Size};
    my $fb = $drive->{FreeSpace};
    my $perc = $fb / $sz * 100.0;
    printf "%-14s %-14.0f %-14.0f %-2.1f%%\n",$dr,$sz,$fb, $perc;
    $cmd .= $MonitorPath . "/" . $dr . "/Size=" . $sz;
    $cmd .= $MonitorPath . "/" . $dr . "/Free=" . $fb;
    $cmd .= $MonitorPath . "/" . $dr . "/PctFree=" . $perc;
  }
}
else
{
  # Assume UNIX with Gnu DF, for now
  open DF, "df -l -B1 |" or die "Cannot execute 'df': $!";
  printf "Free diskspace on `hostname`:\n\n";
  printf "%-14s %-14s %-14s %-4s\n","Drive","Size","Free", "Perc";
  printf "%-14s %-14s %-14s %-4s\n","-" x 14,"-" x 14,"-" x 14, "-" x 4;

  while (<DF>)
  {
    my ($fs, $sz, $us, $fb, $perc, $mount) = split /\s+/, $_;
    if ($mount =~ m/^\// && $sz > 1024 && $sz != $fb)
    {
      my $perc = $fb / $sz * 100.0;
      $mount =~ s/\//./g;
      $mount =~ s/\//./g;
      $mount =~ s/^\.//;
      $mount =~ s/^$/root/;
      printf "%-8s %-14.0f %-14.0f %-2.1f%%\n",$mount,$sz,$fb, $perc;
      $cmd .= $MonitorPath . "/" . $mount . "/Size=" . $sz;
      $cmd .= $MonitorPath . "/" . $mount . "/Free=" . $fb;
      $cmd .= $MonitorPath . "/" . $mount . "/PctFree=" . $perc;
    }
  }
  close DF;
}

print `$cmd`;
