Once availmon is installed, "registration" is required before availmon
reports are automatically distributed, and if desired, other options may
also be configured. Registration of a system can normally be
accomplished simply by enabling the flag aaaauuuuttttooooeeeemmmmaaaaiiiillll using aaaammmmccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg
aaaauuuuttttooooeeeemmmmaaaaiiiillll oooonnnn. The default distribution of email reports is to send a
diagnosis report to aaaavvvvaaaaiiiillllmmmmoooonnnn@@@@ccccssssdddd....ssssggggiiii....ccccoooommmm, which enters the report into
the SGI Availmon Database. Further adjustments of Email distribution are
described in the next paragraph.
There are several other configuration options that can prove useful. One
is to configure sending availmon reports from one or more systems to a
standard system administrator email alias. This provides real-time
notification of system activity. Another similar option is to configure
availmon pager reports for real-time notification to "chatty" pagers.
Or, availmon diagnostic reports may be sent to a local support office, or
to a system administrator for detailed evaluation. To perform those
adjustmentd of Email distribution, just use aaaammmmccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg aaaauuuuttttooooeeeemmmmaaaaiiiillll....lllliiiisssstttt.
Availmon can also generate periodic status reports that indicate that a
system is still running and "registered" to send email reports. This is
controlled by the NNNNuuuummmmbbbbeeeerrrr ooooffff ddddaaaayyyyssss bbbbeeeettttwwwweeeeeeeennnn ssssttttaaaattttuuuussss uuuuppppddddaaaatttteeeessss configuration
value, which defaults to 7777 days. Such reports are sent by the eventmond,
so they are sent only if the aaaammmmccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg ttttiiiicccckkkkeeeerrrrdddd configuration flag is oooonnnn.
NNNNOOOOTTTTEEEE::::That option is now deprecated in favor of an eventmond command-line
flag -_n.
Even where sending of availmon reports is not enabled, local system
availability data is always maintained, and _R_e_p_o_r_t_s->_A_v_a_i_l_a_b_i_l_i_t_y option
can be chosen from SGI ESP User Interface to produce statistical or event
