NAME

       os_mon - OS Monitoring Application

DESCRIPTION

       The operating system monitor, OS_Mon, provides the following services:

         * cpu_sup CPU load and utilization supervision (Unix)

         * disksup Disk supervision(Unix, Windows)

         * memsup Memory supervision (Unix, Windows)

         * os_sup Interface to OS system messages (Solaris, Windows)

       To  simplify usage of OS_Mon on distributed Erlang systems, it is not considered an error trying to use a
       service at a node where it is not available (either because OS_Mon is not running, or because the service
       is not available for that OS, or because the service is not  started).  Instead,  a  warning  message  is
       issued  via  error_logger  and a dummy value is returned, which one is specified in the man pages for the
       respective services.

CONFIGURATION

       When OS_Mon is started, by default all services available for the OS, except  os_sup,  are  automatically
       started. This configuration can be changed using the following application configuration parameters:

         start_cpu_sup = bool():
           Specifies if cpu_sup should be started. Defaults to true.

         start_disksup = bool():
           Specifies if disksup should be started. Defaults to true.

         start_memsup = bool():
           Specifies if memsup should be started. Defaults to true.

         start_os_sup = bool():
           Specifies if os_sup should be started. Defaults to false.

       Configuration  parameters  effecting  the  different  OS_Mon services are described in the respective man
       pages.

       See config(5) for information about how to change the value of configuration parameters.
