[This note has been sent to the following InterNet address(es): hp3000-l @ utcvm.utc.edu it has also been sent to the following JP Morgan address(es) : To : SSWPROD.OAS @ TRSSW ] I have set up Galcon on a standalone HP3k 922 to monitor three HP3k 992s and to filter all the console messages so that the relevant ones can be channelled to a separate Console display. This works fine except when a job on one of the systems decides to flood the console with hundreds of TELLOPs (or PRINTOPs) e.g. if a database load program has a 3000 line input data file which causes a failure for each record and produces a 6 line message on the console for each failure ! When this happens, Galcon's parseing routine seems to get snowed and the monitoring suffers from severe delays. What I am looking for is a way to allow only selected messages to get through to Galcon, e.g. like a system UDC for TELLOP although this will not work for PRINTOPs. I understand that the correct answer is to modify the offending jobs to not send "the flood" but that is a non-trivial task although it is the eventual goal. I cannot switch the console away from ldev 20 because of the messages that _do_ need to be monitored and Galcon can only monitor Ldev 20. Does anyone have any bright ideas ?
