2.6 Monitor ID
ViewCheck Service monitors pre-identified parameters for hardware devices. These
parameters are CPU Core temperature, Network Device counters, Network Device errors etc.
To periodically poll and check these parameters the ViewCheck service uses CLI and XML
configuration. For each parameter of interest, a Monitor ID is an enumerated constant that
uniquely represents the Monitoring entity. This value shall be used by the ViewCheck, to
control monitoring and also while reporting events via XML on these monitors.
2.7 Error ID
This is an attempt to provide identification to list the pre-determined hardware device
errors/warnings generated by the device driver (or) the kernel on the blade. These critical and
error messages are an indication of abnormal behavior on part of the kernel or the hardware
device on the blade. ViewCheck functionality attempts to detect all such errors and would
provide suitable information to external high-level software intelligence to act upon.
The list of messages that constitute these errors is not standardized by the hardware device
Vendor (nor) the Linux Kernel Community. Error ID attempts to standardize all such messages
on Artesyn supported blades. These messages would be OS and driver specific. Mostly, the
same ERROR ID would be associated with the same category of error, across blades and OSs.
