Objects Monitored

Here is a detailed view on the objects monitored by SystemGuard.

Filesystem space
   You specify a list of filesystems to monitor and how full they can be
    in percent before SystemGuard will send warnings.

Free memory
   The minimum free avaliable memory before warnings will be sent.

Databases
   Only Oracle databases are monitored if they are running.
   You specify the SID of the database to monitor.
   Note! SystemGuard does not connect to the database to
   see if it is up, it monitors the processes.

Specified daemons
   Here you can specify daemons SystemGuard should monitor
   and restart if they are down. Eg. You could set it to check that
   the sendmail daemon is up, and how to start it automaticly if it stops.

The syslog log
   SystemGuard monitors the syslog for disk failures and sends warnigs
   if one is detected in the syslog.

The system load
   SystemGuard monitors the system load and sends warnigs when load
   is above configured value.

The su log
   SystemGuard can alert you when an unautorized person does a su to user root.
