System or File Monitoring

I wanna monitor the system if any file is added, deleted or modified. Ideally the program will be running in the background and monitoring the system all the time. Any file change (add, delete, modify) will fire another application. I have no idea how to do it. Can anybody help me please with some idea?
thnx
andy

Andy,
This sounds like it's better suited for Perl (no flames please - I love Java, but sometimes you need a screwdriver instead of a hammer). Also, sounds like you're reinventing the wheel. Have you looked on sourceforge for monitoring software?
If you hate my answer so far, I'll try to make amends. You are going to need a couple of things: A thread that you fire every so often - the task it performs is to simply read file information using the File object (or use jCIFS SmbFile). You can store the data in memory, or in a database (essential if you want the app to run your other program if a file is changed, add or removed while your monitor is turned off). Look at the java.io.File object to see how to read the files. Also, take a look at the tutorial section on the java.sun site that deals with Threads. With those two things, you can get a simple file/directory monitor up and running.
Hope that helps

File system used space monitoring rule

All, I'm trying to change the way OC monitors disk space usage. I don't want it to report on nfs filesystems, except from the server from which they are shared.
The monitored attribute is FileSystemUsages.name=*.usedSpacePercentage.
I'd like it to only report on ufs and zfs filesystems. I've tried to create new rules using the attribures:
FileSystemUsages.type=ufs.usedSpacePercentage
FileSystemUsages.type=UFS.usedSpacePercentage
FileSystemUsages.type=zfs.usedSpacePercentage
FileSystemUsages.type=ZFS.usedSpacePercentage
But I don't get any alerts generated on system which I know violate the thresholds I've specified.
Has anybody successfully set up rules like these? Am I on the right track? do ufs/UFS/zfs/ZFS need to be single or double quoted? Documentation with various examples is non-existent as far as I can tell.
Any help is greatly appreciated
Tim

do you get any answers for this question? It seems like OEM12c has file system space usage monitoring setup for nfs mounted file systems, however I could not find a place to specify the threshold for those nfs mounted file sytems except root file system. does anybody know how to setup threshold of nfs mounted file systems(Netapp storage)? thank you very much

BPMon - File monitoring issue

Hi,
I have configured file monitoring (pattern non-xml) on one interface. Validation Check is Green (file was found) but I can't get any alert (alert stays Grey).
I tested direct collection or via background job: no change.
On my Solman:
- DSWP_BPM_ALERTS is NOT showing any BOFIL* alerttype nor my MonID
- DSWP_BPM_TIMESCH is well indicating collections are due
- CCMS is well showing my MonID but stays grey
- SM_SIDCLNTxxx_READ is working fine
On my Managed System:
- SM37: bpm_data_collection is well indicating my MonID collection was triggered
- SE38: /SSF/PTABBROWSER (Relid TC, ProjectID EXS, focus on "I" results) is empty (00000)
- SU56: SM_SID user (read RFC) is granted the correct permissions according to troubleshooting docu.
I wonder whether I can check somewhere on the managed system the results of the data collection (result table ? CCMS ?)
ST-A/PI is 01Q SP1.
Thanks in advance for your help !

Hi Rémi,
I recently experienced the same situation and engaged OSS after going through similar troubleshooting steps, so maybe the same solution will work for you.
With Solution Manager SP10, BPMon uses the TMW RFC destination (if defined) rather than the read RFC destination (which I missed when reviewing note 784752).
Can you check the authorizations on SMTM<SID> in the managed system? I suspect it doesn't have the necessary S_CTS_ADMI authorization object.
Hope that helps.

File Monitoring - Not able to see File Path on the Detail Information Tab

Hi Experts:
I am setting up the "File Monitoring" in the Solution Manager. I am having STA/PI01L_CRM570 on the Solution Manager.
And on the Satelite System - ECC I have STA/PI 01L_ECC600
While I am setting up the parameters, I am supposed to provide the file path in "Detail Information" tab page.
But I am just able to see two tabs:
Count and Short Text (optional).
I checked all the other tab but not able to locate where I need to provide the file path.
Can any one let me know, If I am missing anything or do I need to do any further steps.
Similarly for the File Size setting:
I am not able to see where I can define The parameter "File Pattern (e.g. *.log, *.txt or any string)" is mandatory.
Pls let me know.
Regards
John

Hello Johns,
You can find the FilePath in the 'Detail Information' tab if you double click the initial and predefined counter 001.
Best regards,

Set System Image (File) Error 1097

We have a built up PXI Chassis with RT OS running on it. I used Get System Image (File).vi to grab the contents of the hard drive into a Zip file.
I then have a LabVIEW project which builds our software into a startup.rtexe and the associated folders. The PXI Chassis DIP switches are set up correct to launch the startup.rtexe.
The System.zip file is unpacked and the project files are inserted into it. The directory is then re-zipped to a new Zip file.
I have a VI which deploys the new Zip file image (basically it runs on a PC connected to PXI Chassis via Ethernet). It checks that PXI Chassis software has not been deployed or is a different version and uses Set System Image (File).vi to deploy the image.
If I run it on a different but identical PXI rack (chassis number is initially different), the zip file appears to deploy correctly. The PXI Chassis reboots and launches our software. Problem is “Set System Image (File).vi” always errors on exiting with a 1097 error.
In addition the image was created from a PXI Chassis numbered 2. The PXI Chassis I deploying to was initially configured as chassis number 1 (viewed in NI MAX). After deployment it remains as “Chassis 1”. If I change it to “Chassis 2” in NI MAX and then run the deployment, it reverts back to “Chassis 1”. However I would have thought it would change based on the content of the Zip file?
Any ideas why the VI is throwing an error?

Good Morning Chris,
There are several possible reasons that can cause the error you are seeing:
1. There is some problem with your code, below is a good example on how to get/set system image from a RT controller:
"Get/Set Images From RT Controllers Using System Configuration API":
https://decibel.ni.com/content/docs/DOC-34955
2. Does this problem only happen when you deploy from the PXI chassis 2? everything works fine with the PC?
I look forward to your reply.
Thank you.
Lanxi
1. I have seen that page, but I cannot open that example as it is for LabVIEW 2013. I am running LabVIEW 2012. I have seen and implemented something similar to the built in examples in LabVIEW 2012 though.
2. The deployment is not from a PXI chassis. It is too one. The deployment is performed from a rack mounted Windows XP PC. It is connected to a PXI Chassis via Ethernet.
Once the Set System Image (File) has completed (with the error), the PXI Chassis is up and running and I can see it is running my software successfully (I output test text to the PXI Chassis' monitor). I can also call stub VI's on the rack mounted Windows XP PC which in turn connects too and runs the remote VI's successfully.
I think I need to try the deployment on the original source of the System Image and see if it also errors.
Thanks.

Total lock-ups with fan running - translate system.log file please!?

Hi, all. My late 2005 2.3 gig dual G5 has been experiencing random lock ups for as long as I can remember. My system is up to date and I have tested each pair of the 5 gigs of ram that I have and the system freezes with each pair. It can happen at any time, when I am doing absolutely nothing, for example, overnight. I am at my wits end!
Here's the system log file for the latest freezes. Can anyone tell me what's going on here??? I really need to get to the root of this problem. Thanks so so much in advance.

Hi-
The machine seems to be having trouble with loading certain drivers, but, as this isn't a crash log, and doesn't show the "hang-up" or freeze, it's hard to tell.
Noted possibilities are:
-Microsoft keyboard (possible USB power problem)
-firmtek driver (from archive) questionable due to the "archive" annotation
-Wacom tablet driver, causing system problems
Running in Safe mode without freezes would help to determine if one of these drivers is the problem.
Other possibilities are outdated drivers, or simply a need to reinstall the OS.
If unnecessary, removing the driver(s) would be a good idea.
External USB and Firewire devices are all suspect, should all be disconnected, revert to Apple keyboard, and test system performance. Adding one device at a time, and testing each will be necessary to clear each device.
I have experienced system trouble when a Wacom tablet was not connected, but the driver was left installed.
Disabling the driver from Startup items may be necessary to test without the Wacom tablet connected.

Was advised to delete system configuration file from hard drive and now computer will not start - any help would be appreciated.

Downloaded Yosemite and since then cannot connect to internet or bluetooth mouse - was advised to delete system configuration file from the hard drive and since then cannot start up computer. Any help would be appreciated - cheers.

Boot the MBP with the OPTION+COMMAND+R keys down. The result should be a display showing a revolving globe. By following the instructions, you will be able to reinstall the original OSX. Then you may reinstall Yosemite.
A solid Internet connection will be required.
Ciao.

File Monitor - Not working properly on SMB file share

The "File Monitor" does not trigger on SMB file share, i think this might be a bug.
I have tried the same "File Monitor" on a windows share, and it works like intended. However, when I use the same runbook on a Solaris SMB share, it does not trigger properly. It triggers when I delete or rename a file, but not any thing else (like
create, changed, etc) I have turned all the triggers on just to see what actually makes it trigger...
I'm using specified authentication (domain user and password)
The SMB folder is shared on a Solaris (SunOS 5.10).
Can anyone confirm that they also have this problem?
Is there a patch to fix this? Thanks.

Can someone please verify that they also have this problem?
Thanks.

How can i recover my database after losing system data file.

hi everyone,
how can i recover my database in the following scenario.
1. offline complete backup taken 2 days ago. database was in archive mode.
2. today i lost my system data file, and also lost my all archived files.
3. i started up the database but, the following error was generated.
SQL> startup
ORACLE instance started.

4. i copied the system data file from backup and wrote the following statement, to recover the database.
SQL> recover datafile 1;

now i don't have any archive file. is there any chance to recover the database ?If no archive log files are available you can't recover the datafile.You need to have all the archives from the time of offline backup was taken till the system datafile is lost.

What are the most important system preference files to have backed up?

This isn't specifically a Time Machine question but since it pertains to backup I thought it would be best here. In addition to backing up my entire system to an external HD using Time Machine I'm also planning to back-up critical files to an online service (Mozy) in case I should have a break-in or fire or something like that and not be able to recover either my laptop or my external HD.
I've started to identify some of the files I'd like to back up such as the encrypted database where my passwords are stored (Wallet) but I'm wondering what some of the other things I should back up are. What are the files that would contain important data that I wouldn't want to lose or would help get in me up and running more quickly?

Hiya,
firstly, I would not recommend backing up anything *in isolation*. As all system critical files interact, and some are stored (invisibly) at various locations, including the volume header.
The "library" files (you'll find various ones, one in your actual bootup drive, one in your home folder, and one in your "system" folder) are, of course critical (see Dimaxium's post)
With a MBP, I'd recommend timecapsule or external firewire HDD (I had some excellent experience with LaCie 1Tb on Firewire 800 - incredibly fast).
What I'd do, rather than running Time Machine, which can be - of course - *very useful* (drawback, it uses the backup disk till full) is the following:
If you know your existing OS is pristine and works perfectly, I'd get external HDD, install Leopard (from Leopard disk), then use migration assistant and it'll create a clone (if you tick all the boxes - note article about the versions: http://macs.about.com/od/leopard105/ss/migratevol.htm ).
That way, the new disk has everything. And from time to time, just boot up, using your external HDD and update.
Bit more work, but that way, you got a fully functional "emergency OS" available anytime.

ESE - Event Log Warning: 906 - A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file...

Hello -
We have 3 x EX2010 SP3 RU5 nodes in a cross-site DAG.
Multi-role servers with 18 GB RAM [increased from 16 GB in an attempt to clear this warning without success].
We run nightly backups on both nodes at the Primary Site.
Node 1 backup covers all mailbox databases [active & passive].
Node 2 backup covers the Public Folders database.
The backups for each database are timed so they do not overlap.
During each backup we get several of these event log warnings:
Log Name:      Application
Source:        ESE
Date:          23/04/2014 00:47:22
Event ID:      906
Task Category: Performance
Level:         Warning
Keywords:      Classic
User:          N/A
Computer:      EX1.xxx.com
Description:
Information Store (5012) A significant portion of the database buffer cache has been written out to the system paging file. This may result in severe performance degradation.
See help link for complete details of possible causes.
Resident cache has fallen by 42523 buffers (or 27%) in the last 903 seconds.
Current Total Percent Resident: 26% (110122 of 421303 buffers)
We've rescheduled the backups and the warning message occurences just move with the backup schedules.
We're not aware of perceived end-user performance degradation, overnight backups in this time zone coincide with the business day for mailbox users in SEA.
I raised a call with the Microsoft Enterprise Support folks, they had a look at BPA output and from their diagnostics tool. We have enough RAM and no major issues detected.
They suggested McAfee AV could be the root of our problems, but we have v8.8 with EX2010 exceptions configured.
Backup software is Asigra V12.2 with latest hotfixes.
We're trying to clear up these warnings as they're throwing SCOM alerts and making a mess of availability reporting.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance

Having said all that, a colleague has suggested we just limit the amount of RAM available for the EX2010 DB cache
Then it won't have to start releasing RAM when the backup runs, and won't throw SCOM alerts
This attribute should do it...

BPM File monitoring - Alerts not triggered.

Hi All,
we have defined the application monitor for file monitoring in BPM.
the problem is we are not getting any alerts so far,
the file monitoring paramaters we gave are
1. file path, filename * and pattern: az*
we are actually monitoring the availablity of the incoming file, there are also files existing of the same name, the only differentiator is the time stamp.
As per logic, we will be monitoring the latest file that reaches the folder. but no oupt till now.
can any one pls tell how can we proceed further, for the requirement mentioned above, all the necassary authorizations are provided.
kindly advice on

Hi Ragu,
Thanks for the reply.
The status is gray in RZ20. But when i see in dswp it is in green only.
I tried activating the file size and filae age parameters, according to setup guide it is mentioned that
After activating, the most recent file is considered for creation time of file.
for file size and file age , the existing file details are considered.
but in my case, creation time of file getting some alerts.....eventhogh no file has come after activation.
And file size and file age are still in gray when old file are there available in the specified folder.
kinldy advice on why this is happening.
Thanks and Regards,
Subhashini.

Unable to restore System Recovery Files in desktop folder

I owned an HP Pavilion A6037C desktop computer (Running Vista). It began to give me serious issues in July so i used the HP System Backup and Restore program to create a backup of all my files. i saved these files on an external HD so i wouldn't lose my files if the computer crashed. This backup was created in a folder called MINWINPC. In that folder was this file name "Backup Files 2011-5-7 234595". in that folder was a file list
Backup.001.App
Backup.002.fbw
Backup.003.fbw
Backup.004.fbw
and so on ....
I have since removed the first computer (although i still have it in my posession), and have replaced it with an HP Pavilion P6245f desktop running Windows 7.
Now that i have a newer desktop in place i wanted to install some of my old files from my backup that is saved on my external hard drive. i've connected the external hard drive to the new computer and i've ran the Backup.001.App. It restored my old files to a folder on my desktop called "Shortcut to System Recovery Files". It's a rather large file (i believe 50 GB) that is stored in another folder titled "C". In this folder i can see the seperate file folders i'm assuming were from my original desktop. when i access my username and select for instance "My Pictures" folder, it shows a list of all my orginal files. When i double click a picture, it says :
"File not readable. You can not open this file. Please check the readability of this file."
when i try to open any other type of file (such as .pdf's or word documents, or spreadsheets), it basically says the same thing.
"Can not access the document C:\(filelocation). The document may already be open or a read only document. The name and path may be invalid. The document may no longer exist, or it may already be open".
PLEASE HELP   All i want to do is restore my pictures, documents, and emails .   HOW CAN I RESTORE THESE FILES TO MY NEW COMPUTER ????????

No Final Cut Studio System ID file: Must re-enter the SN every time.

I was having trouble with needing to re-enter the FCS 3 SN every time I open an app. I am going mad. Another thread said to delete the Final Cut Studio System ID file then restart the program. Well now I have no Final Cut Studio System ID file and I STILL need to enter the SN every **** time I launch a program.
This was an upgrade from the FCS academic version.
Any help?

OK, let's give this a try.
First, let's create the systemid file again by launching Final Cut Pro and and re-register. This should create the files in the /tmp/ directory.
Then run this command in the Terminal.
launchctl load /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.aelwriter.plist
launchctl start com.apple.aelwriter
Finally, run this command in the Terminal. It will ask you to enter your admin passward.
sudo /usr/sbin/AELWriter -installer
The files should have moved from /tmp/ to /Library/Application Support/ProApps/. If not then, something might be preventing from moving those files... perhaps a permission problem?
