That way, we can intercept messages passed between enterprise management components. If a new product needs to be integrated, it can literally be plugged in. EMU Background EMU is a flexible and integration-ready event management tool developed under Linux. It consists of a manager and agents. In fact, it integrates monitoring and event manager into one program.
Agents are very simple scripts invoked by cron .
These scripts are run at regular intervals, perhaps every five minutes. Each run scans the resources it monitors, comparing their thresholds against a configuration file. If a threshold is exceeded, a message is sent to the manager. Let us suppose an agent that runs every five minutes found a resource problem. At each poll, it will send an alarm message to the manager.
