Process Group Monitor Table Flags

The pgmonFlags column in the Process Group Monitor table is a 32-bit unsigned integer field that can specify additional behavioral semantics for the corresponding row.

By default, the Process Group Monitor table row does the following:

• Attempts to reinitialize itself
• Sends SNMP traps
• Logs events to the common log file
• Invokes actions (if they are configured)

You can set different flag bits to alter these defaults. The agent interprets all flags in hexadecimal (base 16) notation.

The Process Group Monitor Table flags (pgmonFlags) are as follows:

The flags value consists of three fields:

• Field 1 contains common table flags defined for the monitoring tables of the Systems Management Empire MIB. This portion is the low-order 8 bits of the flag.
• Field 2 contains table-specific flags defined separately for each of the monitoring tables. This field defines the next 12 low-order bits after the common table flags.
• Field 3 contains 12 reserved high-order bits for an integer value for use with table-specific flags. This field defines the flags that are specific to the Process Group Monitor table.

The following sections explain each flag bit. You can combine flag values through a logical OR operation. One flag is specific to the Process Group Monitor table: 0x00100. This flag instructs the SystemEDGE agent to match the process name and arguments for this entry.

The following list describes the Process Monitor table flags:

0x00000001

Disables execution of actions for this entry.

0x00000002

Disables sending of SNMP traps for this entry.

0x00000004

Disables attempts to reinitialize this entry. By default, the agent periodically tries to reinitialize this entry by scanning the process table to determine the new process ID if the target process has been restarted.

0x00000008

Disables logging of traps for this entry in the sysedge.log file. Setting this bit does not affect sending trap. Disabling event logging is useful when events occur frequently or when a particular entry is used as an agent heartbeat.

0x00000020

Disables the passing of default arguments to action scripts or programs. SystemEDGE typically passes default action parameters that indicate the trap type, description field, and so on. For more information about action parameters, see Process Group Monitor Table Action Parameters.

0x00000040

Disables sending of notReady traps for this entry.This includes to not log and to not execute actions for notReady trap.

0x00000100

Matches the process name and arguments for this entry.

0x00008000

Matches processes in Solaris Zone. The pgmonProcRegExpr attribute is expected in the form ZoneRegExpr/ProcRegExpr.
