Jane, would you be willing to provide a sample status/discovery application? I 
have asked for the specifications for the status/discovery apps but all I know 
so far is that I thought it had to be java? I brought this request to Mike Odom 
and also asked via support.

Hi Catalina,
How are you monitoring for Apache?? I have found that servmon works OK 
if you do port monitoring or monitoring using your own shellscripts for 
discovery and status monitoring. I have seen all sorts of quirks getting 
servmon to work with itmquery. I simply uncommented the line provided 
for Apache monitoring and it worked.

Have you bounced sermon since editing servmon.conf? I think I have seen 
very inconsistent behavious as to what actually makes servmon pick up a 
new servmon.config file. My reading of the docs leads me to believe that 
I should be able to do Options -> Topology Status Polling and uncheck 
the Discover New Services button. Then repeat, checking the button 
again. This generates a Service Polling Options changed trap (it's 
configured to logOnly but you can see it in trapd.log). If you watch the 
logfile for servmon in /usr/OV/log/servmon.log, you can see monitors 
stopped / started but if you have added new active lines to servmon.conf 
then they don't seem to be picked up. It's like servmon has a cached 
version of this file. I find I have to bounce servmon to make it pick up 
any changes in servmon.conf.

Anyone else got any experiences to ahare with this stuff??? Better 
still, has anyone got any documentation of what goes on in the java bits 
of servmon / itmquery???

Cheers,
Jane
