View Process Status results

This screen displays status information for the media server applications based on the selection you made on the View Process Status screen:

Summary or
Detailed

Regardless of which view you chose, status information appears for the following applications:

Application Name	Description
Watchdog	Brings the system up, recovers from failures, and brings the system down cleanly.
TraceLogger	Creates and maintains the log files where most MultiVantage applications write messages.
ENV (environment)	Monitors the environmental variables of the physical hardware, such as temperature, voltage, and fan speed.
LicenseServer	Provides security for enabling the different software features, including the ability to run MultiVantage.
INADSAlarmAgent	Sends alarms to the Initialization and Administration System (INADS) using SNMP traps defined in the INADS Management Information Base (MIB).
G3AlarmAgent	Reports alarms using Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps defined in the G3 MIB.
GMM (Global Maintenance Manager)	Collects, processes, and reports system-wide alarms.
SNMPManager	Acts as the SNMP trap receiver for the media server. The received traps are decoded and written to the syslog.
arbiter	Decides which server should be "active" running the MultiVantage software, based on the state-of-health information from the other components.
filesyncd	Manages file synchronization between the servers so that critical files such as translations are kept up to date.
dupmgr	Replicates information between the servers to allow arbitration between the servers with minimal interference with call processing.
MasterAgent	Is a gateway SNMP agent for the media server. The MasterAgent receives all SNMP requests (both reads and writes) to the media server. It also validates that a requester can access the requested objects, and it calls on a specific subagent to process the request.
mib2agent	Handles SNMP requests for objects defined in the MIB-2.
SME (Server Maintenance Engine)	Tests server components periodically. The SME tests components as the result of both specific requests and asynchronous errors.
DEFINITY	Controls the communications sessions and features.

Process status summary format

The system default for displaying process status information is a summary display. The summary display looks something like this:

Watchdog	16/16	UP
TraceLogger	3	Partially Up
ENV	0/1	DOWN

In this example, you can see the following information:

Name of the application (Watchdog).
Number of processes running compared to the total number of processes associated with the application (16/16).
Application status (UP). The application status is either up, partially up, or down.

Process status detailed format

The detailed display provides information about each media server application as a whole. However, it also displays information about each process associated with an application. The detailed display looks something like this:

DEFINITY 58/85 PARTIALLY UP

isg–	xad–	ac_schd–	homre–	add–
msg_sv–	adm_mgr–	fac_st–	meas_m–	acode_m–
bdm–	lip–	prc_mgr [3/3]	pcd [3/0]	border [1/3]
dm–	bs [3/3]	stn_sv–	smdr_m–	mcp–
mis_ap–	gip–	pma–	msap–	mdm–
dap–	awu–	net_st–	pam–	aap–
ps_mapm+	fg_mapd+	ps_mapn+	ps_mapa+	fg_mape+

In this example, you can see the following information:

Name of the application (DEFINITY).
Number of processes running compared to the total number of processes associated with the application (58/85).
Application status (PARTIALLY UP). The application status is either up, partially up, or down.
List of processes associated with the application. The process list shows the truncated process name, followed by a plus or minus sign (for example, ps_mapm+ and isg-). The plus sign indicates that the process is running; the minus sign indicates that the process is not running.
For some processes, a set of brackets, which follows the process name, contains the number of copies running compared to the number expected (for example, prc_mgr [3/3]).
