Alarm for New virtual shared memory segment

Hello, I was wondering if there is any way for Informix to alert us if it "Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory segment". I tried getting the ALARMPROGRAM to alert, though it seems that this action does not trigger the ALARMPROGRAM. Any ideas? 16:17:26 Requested shared memory segment size rounded from 640000KBto 655360KB 16:17:26 Shared memory segment will use large pages with intimateshared memory (ISM) if available 16:17:27 Dynamically allocated new virtual shared memory segment (size 655360KB) 16:17:27 Memory sizes:resident:9961472 KB, virtual:20185088 KB, noSHMTOTAL limit --David

Unfortunately it is not considered a significant "event" for the alarmprogram. The only way would be to poll the message log for the string. Art Art S.

-->>The only way would be to poll the message log for the string. i would make sure only one segment for virtual and use onstat -g segor dbaccess sysmaster <<! select * from sysseglst! to check if extra were added Superboer On 9 jun, 21:52, Art Kagel <art.ka...@gmail.com> wrote: > Unfortunately it is not considered a significant "event" for the > alarmprogram.  The only way would be to poll the message log for the string. > > Art > > Art S.

Thank you Superboer and Art. For the meantime I will create another monitor. I have also submitted a feature request to get this event to trigger the ALARMPROGRAM. --Dave On Thu, Jun 10, 2010 at 4:31 AM, Superboer <superboer7@t-online.de> wrote: > -->>The only way would be to poll the message log for the string. > > i would make sure only one segment for virtual and use > onstat -g seg> or > dbaccess sysmaster <<! > > select * from sysseglst> ! > > > to check if extra were added > > Superboer > > On 9 jun, 21:52, Art Kagel <art.ka...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Unfortunately it is not considered a significant "event" for the > > alarmprogram.
