Event-Alarm Parameters

The database server can execute a program that operates either whenever certain noteworthy event alarms occur or every time any event alarm occurs. Noteworthy event alarms include failure of a database, table, index, chunk or dbspace taken offline, internal subsystem failure, start-up failure, and detection of long transaction. You can receive notification of an event alarm through email or pagermail.

Use the following parameters to specify:

Configuration Parameter Description
ALRM_ALL_EVENTS Specifies whether ALARMPROGRAM runs for all events that are logged in the MSGPATH or only specified noteworthy events.
ALARMPROGRAM Specifies the location of a file that is executed when an event alarm occurs.

You can set the ALARMPROGRAM parameter to back up logs automatically as they fill. For more information, see the IBM Informix Backup and Restore Guide.

For more information, see your Administrator's Reference.
