alarm_agent(1M)                                      alarm_agent(1M)


       NAME
             alarm_agent - Compaq Insight Manager (CIM) alarm agent

       SYNOPSIS
             alarm_agent [-p time] [-i] [-s OK | NOTOK] [-t OK | NOTOK]

       DESCRIPTION
             alarm_agent is the Compaq Insight Manager (CIM) threshold
             monitoring data collection agent. This agent is responsible
             for collecting threshold values which are compared to user-
             configured thresholds.  The threshold information collected is
             determined by the CIM MIB registered by cpqsmuxd(1M). If a
             configured threshold is exceeded, an alarm trap is sent to the
             configured SNMP trap destination and optionally to UNIX mail.
             By default, alarm_agent is started by cpqsmuxd with the
             arguments specified in the /usr/bin/compaq/smux/config file.

             alarm_agent supports the following options:

             -p time        specifies the time in seconds between updates
                            of the MIB variables.  If not specified, time
                            defaults to 30 seconds.

             -i             tells the agent to ignore stop indication from
                            the cpqsmuxd process.  If this option is not
                            used, when a stop indication is received from
                            cpqsmuxd, alarm_agent terminates.

             -t OK | NOTOK  enables or disables the ability to send SNMP
                            traps.  If OK is specified, alarm_agent will
                            issue SNMP traps.

             -s OK | NOTOK  enables or disables set operations on this
                            agent's MIB variables.  A user at a management
                            station may attempt to set MIB variables
                            managed by this agent.  If OK is specified,
                            alarm_agent will allow set operations.
