660.0. "How to integrate PCM and Watchdog?" by TOPTEN::LEONARD (Paid to play) Thu Mar 23 1995 20:04

I am migrating my customer from VCS to PCM.  VCS is currently integrated 
with Watchdog so part of my effort includes providing the same level of 
integration with PCM.  I have perused both this and the SNS notesfile 
for info on the SNS$FEED_PCM and the SNS$FEED_VCS  example feeds that 
are provided with SNS and have found little info that speaks to exactly 
how one goes about integrating the two products.  With VCS, the 
SNS$FEED_VCS.C program contained a well documented procedure.. sadly, 
the SNS$FEED_PCM.C program does not.  I have a note posted in the SNS 
notesfile that has provided a few answers, but I still have not been 
enlightened as to how to provide the same level of integration with PCM 
as was available with VCS (SNS notesfile note 539).  

Simply, I would like to feed watchdog events to a PCM C3 and have an 
icon change the appropriate color based on the severity of the event 
sensed.  

Can anyone provide specific instructions as to how to provide this 
integration? Please?  

Any assistance in putting this issue to rest would be GREATLY 
appreciated!  Thanks!!!!!

    Jane,
      If you just want to get it working, you can take the SNS$FEED_VCS
    program and run it as a "pseduo-node" just as VCS does currently.
    
    Just go into the PCM configuration editor and add a node called
    WATCHDOG, for example, and set it's connection type to Pseudo-terminal.
    In the "Command to execute" field place the following command:
    
    RUN path-to-image-file:SNS$FEED_VCS
    
    This is how I set it up on my system and it works fine. Bear in mind
    that PCM considers pseudo-nodes as a connection thus it requires a
    license. VCS did the same thing so it probably isn't an issue at your
    customer site.
    
    Regards,
        Dan
    
    P.S. The OSCInt product mentioned in other notes will contain a much
         better piece of code but this product is not an official line
         product.

    Since I can't find anything that looks like SNS$FEED_VCS on my
    digital_unix system, any ideas how you'd do this same thing on DU? 
    
    Customer wants to display watchdog events thru console manager.
    
    Thanks

Yep, get the customer to buy OSCint for Digital UNIX. Not only does this
integrate PCM and PSW, but adds a Motif interface to PSW for editing and an
expert filter that does regular expressions and event correlation.
