Monitoring the Value of a CIM Property

This example assumes the use of the UNIX/Linux Authoring Library example MP. For more information on creating and building the MP authoring project, see Getting Started.

This example demonstrates monitoring of CIM property, retrieved through a WS-Man Enumeration. In this case, the PercentUserTime property of the SCX_UnixProcessStatisticalInformation class is evaluated for the process instance with the name: mydaemon, with a “Greater Than” threshold evaluation.

For additional information about the UnitMonitorType used in this example, as well as other WS-Man Enumeration monitor types, review the documentation of the following Monitor Types in the Unix.Authoring.Library Module Reference:

  • UNIX/Linux WS-Man Enumeration Matches Expression Two-State Monitor Type
  • UNIX/Linux WS-Man Enumeration Less Than Threshold Three-State Monitor Type
  • UNIX/Linux WS-Man Enumeration Greater Than Threshold Three-State Monitor Type

Note:  contents located between pairs of ## characters should be customized for your environment.  This includes ID and property values. Be sure to remove the ## characters before building the MP.
