Note

An object is considered monitored if its monitor attribute is set in the DSNM object database.

Two values of the highlight modifier are similar in name to two parameters of the UPDATE command:

MONITORED and NOT-MONITORED are values of the highlight modifier that limit the scope of the
command either to objects that are currently being monitored or to objects that are not currently
being monitored.

MONITOR and NOMONITOR are parameters that can be used with the UPDATE command to
switch monitoring on and off.

Examples

The following two commands produce the same response:

INQUIRE ALL-SNAX, NOT-UP, SUMMARY, UNACCEPTABLE

INQUIRE ALL-SNAX, SUMMARY, UNACCEPTABLE

A sample response to both commands is:

1 Up, 60 Pending, 324 Down, 0 Defined, 0 In Error

The command returns a summary of the status of the members of the ALL-SNAX
group and all their subordinates that satisfy the following conditions:

Objects are defined in the DSNM object database

Objects are currently being monitored

Objects are in an unacceptable state

(NOT-UP is ignored when SUMMARY is specified.)

Error Modifier

The error modifier determines the amount and type of information provided in
response to objects that produce errors when a correctly entered command is executed.
The error modifier does not affect the command response for errors caused when a
command is entered incorrectly or when a name cannot be resolved.

The three possible values of the error modifier are:

ERROR-BRIEF

DSNM returns a one-line response for each object in error. The
response identifies the object and briefly describes the error.

ERROR-DETAIL

DSNM returns the same information as ERROR-BRIEF, along
with additional details about the errors. If additional
information is not available, ERROR-BRIEF and ERROR-DETAIL
result in the same response.

ERROR-SUPPRESS

DSNM suppresses any response from objects in error. This
option is normally used when it is known in advance that objects
will produce errors and the response is not desired.

The default error modifier is ERROR-BRIEF.
