The MON_CONFIG file

This file contains some parameter settings that are always read when the afd_mon is started. If both AFD and afd_mon are running in the same working directory, this file is not necessary and you can use AFD_CONFIG for this. The following table shows and describes what parameters can be set and which programs must be restarted to activate the new value:

Parameter	Description	Default	Restart
MAX_MON_SYS_LOG_FILES	The number of old monitor system logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	4
MAX_MON_SYS_LOGFILE_SIZE	The size in bytes before the monitor system logfile is rotated.	2097152	mon_sys_log
MAX_MON_LOG_FILES	The number of old monitor logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	14
MAX_SYSTEM_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old system logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	4
MAX_RECEIVE_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old receive logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_TRANSFER_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old transfer logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_TRANS_DB_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old transfer debug logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	3
MAX_EVENT_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old event logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	5
MAX_INPUT_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old input logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_DISTRIBUTION_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old distribution logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_AFD_DIR_LIST_FILES	The number of remote old AFD dirlist logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_PRODUCTION_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old production logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_OUTPUT_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old output logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_AFD_JOB_LIST_FILES	The number of remote old AFD joblist logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
MAX_DELETE_LOG_FILES	The number of remote old delete logfiles that afd_mon keeps before they are deleted.	7
DEFAULT_PRINTER_CMD	With this option it is possible to set the printer command for your specific environment.	"lpr -P"
DEFAULT_PRINTER_NAME	This option specifies the default printer for your system.
PING_CMD	Full path of the ping command plus any options. If there are options you must put the full command in ". The hostname will be added to the end of the command.		mon_ctrl
TRACEROUTE_CMD	Full path of the traceroute command plus any options. The hostname will be added to the end of the command.		mon_ctrl
FAKE_USER <fake user name>	This option allows the administrator to allow certain users to take up another identity, even if they do not exist on the system. This user will then be used to look up the permissions in the afd.users file. So if you for example give operators limited permission and do not want to create a new user, you can do the following: FAKE_USER afd->operator If the user afd enters the following command: mon_ctrl -u operator the mon_ctrl dialog will come up with the permissions of operator. More fake users can be added with a comma as separator: FAKE_USER afd->operator,afd->donald The list may not be longer then 1023 bytes.

When one of the above values is changed the appropriate process must be restarted.
