=head1 NAME
 |

 | 
						|
B<monadd> - Registers a monitoring plug-in to the xCAT cluster.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 SYNOPSIS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
B<monadd  [-h| --help]>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
B<monadd  [-v| --version]>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
B<monadd  name [-n|--nodestatmon] [-s|--settings> I<settings]>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 DESCRIPTION
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This command is used to register a monitoring plug-in module to monitor the xCAT cluster. The plug-in module will be added to the xCAT I<monitoring> database table and the configuration scripts for the monitoring plug-in, if any, will be added to the I<postscripts> table. A monitoring plug-in module acts as a bridge that connects a 3rd party monitoring software and the xCAT cluster. A configuration script is used to configure the 3rd party software. Once added to the <postscripts> table, it will be invoked on the nodes during node deployment stage.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=head1 Parameters
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I<name> is the name of the monitoring plug-in module. For example, if the I<name> is called I<xxx>, then the actual file name that the xcatd looks for is I</opt/xcat/lib/perl/xCAT_monitoring/xxx.pm>. Use I<monls -a> command to list all the monitoring plug-in modules that can be used.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
I<settings> is the monitoring plug-in specific settings. It is used to customize the behavior of the plug-in or configure the 3rd party software. Format: I<-s key-value -s key=value ...> Note that the square brackets are needed here. Use I<monls name -d> command to look for the possible setting keys for a plug-in module.

=head1 OPTIONS
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over 10
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-h | --help>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Display usage message.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-n | --nodestatmon>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Indicate that this monitoring plug-in will be used for feeding the node liveness status to the xCAT I<nodelist> table.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-s | --settings>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Specifies the plug-in specific settings. These settings will be used by the plug-in to customize certain entities for the plug-in or the third party monitoring software. e.g. -s mon_interval=10 -s toggle=1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item B<-v | --version>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Command Version.

=head1 EXAMPLES
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=over 3
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item 1.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To register gangliamon plug-in module (which interacts with Ganglia monitoring software) to monitor the xCAT cluster, enter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  monadd gangliamon
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item 2.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To register rmcmon plug-in module (which interacts with IBM's RSCT monitoring software) to monitor the xCAT cluster and have it feed the node liveness status to xCAT's I<nodelist> table, enter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  monadd rmcmon -n
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
This will also add the I<configrmcnode> to the I<postscripts> table. To view the content of the I<postscripts> table, enter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  tabdump postscritps
 | 
						|
  #node,postscripts,comments,disable
 | 
						|
  "service","servicenode",,
 | 
						|
  "xcatdefaults","syslog,remoteshell,configrmcnode",,
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
=item 3.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
To register xcatmon plug-in module to feed the node liveness status to xCAT's I<nodelist> table, enter:
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
  monadd xcatmon -n -s ping-interval=2
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
where 2 is the number of minutes between the pings.
