opcdistm Distribution manager that distributes node-specific
configurations to managed nodes in response to
requests by the distribution agent (opcdista).
Distribution manager allows selective distribution of
user-selected set of files and binaries by following the
rules specified in the seldist configuration file.
Subprocesses (opctts) are forked for each parallel
distribution session. In addition, scripts and programs
required for automatic and operator-initiated actions,
scheduled actions, and monitoring and broadcasting
requests can also be distributed through the
distribution manager. The distribution manager
starts a child process, the communication manager,
for communication between management servers.
opcecm Event correlation manager that connects to the
server MSI to allow access to and modification of
messages from the OVO message flow by the event
correlation (EC) engine. Depending on filters and
conditions, the messages are then correlated and
written back to OVO. The messages display in the
Message Details window (available from the Message
Browser) with the message source MSI opcecm. Like
all server processes, the event correlation manager is
controlled by the control manager, opcctlm.
opcecmas Annotation server that runs on the management
server and obtains data from outside the ECS engine
for use within correlation circuits. This process
connects to the opcecm process using the standard
annotate API. It receives annotate requests for
launching external programs and returns the output to
the circuit.
opcmsgm Message manager that receives messages from the
managed nodes through the message receiver
(opcmsgr). The messages can be correlated, regrouped
and logged by the message manager running on the
management server. The message manager is also
responsible for adding annotations, triggering
notifications, and forwarding the message to the
trouble ticket and notification service manager
for external notification and trouble ticket generation.
