Hi Jane,
Thanks for the feedback.
What I am actually looking to do(for a customer) is use servmon to do
the daily discovery and the status polling. However, the customers needs
to check the status of a particular service when new nodes are
discovered. So I wanted to automate the once of discovery when a node
added trap is received from netmon through the command line to run the
service discovery on the particular node in question immediately when it
is added, then let the normal servmon process continue as is. The
release notes for 7.1.4 does state that the servmon daemon reacts upon
Node Added traps. Do you know if this implies that it will discover
services on the node for which the Node Added trap is received? I will
test this but just wanted to know if any else understands the behavior?
Regards
Pritesh

Hi Pritesh,
I believe much of the point of the new servmon daemon is to avoid having
to run anything manually. If all you want to do is DISCOVER a service (a
one-off operation), servmon will do that - you don't have to tell
servmon to do subsequent status polls (set the last, status polling
field to 0 in servmon.conf). If you want to limit discovery to a single
node, you can do that by specifying a SmartSet that simply contains that
node. So, with this scenario, your "1-liner" is to enter the appropriate
line into servmon.conf and bounce the servmon daemon and the result
should be the same - ie a SmartSet that contains those items on which
the service has been discovered.
IF you want to then status poll the service on a periodic basis, you
need to change the status poll interval from 0 - but it sounds like you
don't need this?
Cheers,
Jane
