This section describes the processes used on the OVO managed node.
Types of Processes on the Managed Node
This section describes the OVO processes on the managed node. The files
for these processes are described in “Types of Process Files on the
Managed Node” on page 384.
coda Embedded performance component that collects
performance counter and instance data from the
operating system. Threshold monitor templates are
used to access performance metrics collected by the
embedded performance component.
opcacta Action agent that is responsible for starting and
controlling automatic actions, operator-initiated
actions, and scheduled actions (that is, scripts and
programs). The action agent is also used for command
broadcasting and for applications configured as
Window (Input/Output) in the Add/Modify OVO
Application window.
opcdista Distribution agent that requests node-specific
configurations from the distribution manager
(opcdistm). Scripts and programs required for
automatic actions, operator-initiated actions, scheduled
actions, monitoring requests, and broadcasting
requests can also be distributed through the
distribution manager.
opceca Event correlation agent that connects to the agent
MSI in the same way that the ECS runtime library is
integrated into the OVO server. This connection allows
access to and modification of messages from the OVO
message flow on the agent. The messages modified by
this process display in the Message Details window
(available from the Message Browser) with the
message source “MSI: opceca”. Like all agent processes,
this process is controlled by the control agent.
