Why we built it

Over decades supporting HP-UX in the most demanding environments, Beechglen found most monitoring tools either lacking in features or too cumbersome… So we developed AlertTool™ – a simplified, comprehensive monitoring and alerting solution for HP9000 and Integrity servers running HP-UX.

AlertTool is built from HP-UX scripts running directly on the server. There is no central management server to configure and maintain, no complicated installation rollout, and no SNMP configuration or associated security concerns.

  • ALERTING

What AlertTool monitors

EMS logs

Alerts on new hardware errors detected by system diagnostics and reported to EMS logs.

Kernel messages

New kernel messages are monitored and reported.

syslog errors

A user configurable, unlimited set of errors lets you customize for the hardware or software errors you need to know about.

File system usage

Alerts on file systems when usage reaches configurable thresholds.

LVM mirroring

Monitors for stale extents indicating complete disk failures, or even single bad spots on software mirrored disks.

Daily heartbeat

A monitor script sends a daily summary of logged events.
  • Monitoring

Email lists, installation and customization

  • Email lists — alerts generate an email to one or multiple addresses, with unique recipient lists for immediate alerts and daily notifications.
  • Installation — deploying AlertTool is no more difficult than creating a user, unpacking a tar archive and adding cron jobs.
  • Customization — AlertTool is fully customizable. Have a feature you would like to see included? Tell us and we can write it for you.
