Monitoring client to cell interactions
Default values for client parameters
Parameter | Value |
|---|---|
ReportConnectClients | browser, Console, mcontrol, mkill, mposter, msetmsg, msetrec |
ReportModifyClients | mposter, msetmsg, msetrec |
Every parameter corresponds to a reporting clients set. A reporting clients set has a positive and a negative list. Clients that belong to the positive list have their operation reported while operations performed by clients on the negative list are not reported. Clients that are not named in the parameter are considered to be on the default list. The default list is the negative list. The default list can be modified through a special setting of the parameter.
A value for a reporting configuration parameter consists of a comma separated sequence of client names. Every client name can be prefixed with a minus sign (-) or a plus sign (+). The client name prefixed with the minus sign (-) is added to the negative list. When not prefixed, or prefixed with a plus sign (+) , it is added to the positive list.
The special value ALL in place of a client name refers to the default. Including ALL or +ALL modifies the default list so it becomes the positive list. With - ALL, the default list is the negative list. Both parameters could include - ALL, as this is the default setting for clients that are not explicitly mentioned.
The superclass for client operation related events is MC_CELL_CLIENT. The following table lists the slots.
MC_CELL_CLIENT slots
Slot | Data |
|---|---|
client_location | Location of the client as IPAddress:Port |
client_name | Client's name, as announced by the client, or noname |
client_type | Type of client, such as adapter, CLI, console, cell |
There are three subclasses of this class:
- MC_CELL_ALLOWED_CONNECT to represent successful client connection
- MC_CELL_UNALLOWED_CONNECT to represent a refused connection
An attempt to connect using an invalid encryption key generates an internal event, MC_CELL_UNALLOWED_CONNECT, that contains the slot reason, which details why the connection is refused. - MC_CELL_DISCONNECT to represent a disconnect.
Another class, MC_CELL_MODIFIED_EVENT, represents the operation of the modification of an event. The following table lists the slots.
MC_CELL_MODIFIED_EVENT slots
Slot | Data |
|---|---|
event | Universal event ID of the event being modified. |
requestor | Identification of the user that performed the modification. |
