If all goes fine, you should be able to view a web interface via port 1311.

I then had to log in with my root user name and password. I was pleased with the amount of features incorporated in Open Manage.

To setup the alerts you can click on Alerts Management > Then on the individual sensor. I chose to select, Execute application, so that I can have the software email me a complete list of errors detected.

Here is the script I use to email me:

#!/bin/bash

ps -ef >/tmp/psout.txt 2>&1

omreport system alertlog > /tmp/alertmsg.txt 2>&1

mail -s “Server Alert” root </tmp/alertmsg.txt> /tmp/mailout.txt 2>&1

Obviously substitute root with your email. Now when the server detects, will receive a printout of processes running at the time of the incident and a copy of the log file.
