BSM and heart-beat

Zaxxon

Well as one of the people who defined the term BSM in the Industry do not see how BSM is related to a heart-beat. A heart-beat may allow you to understand if a component of a service is up an running so its more connected to a regular monitoring technique and not BSM, but it will not allow you to understand the status of the service itself. BSM deals with the following things

1) Understanding of the structure of the service
2) Based on this planning what monitoring is needed to ensure its availability
3) Deploying and tuning this Monitoring
4) Aggregating all the information from all the monitoring tools to understand the status of the service
5) Understanding the impact of an event / incident on a service
6) Understanding the impact of change on the service and planning accordingly

For more information you can find information at neebula.com

I hope this helps

AU_BSM_TO_FCNTL_CMD(3)					   BSD Library Functions Manual 				    AU_BSM_TO_FCNTL_CMD(3)

NAME
au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd, au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm -- convert between BSM and local fcntl(2) command values LIBRARY
Basic Security Module Library (libbsm, -lbsm) SYNOPSIS
#include <bsm/libbsm.h> int au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd(u_short bsm_fcntl_cmd, int *local_fcntl_cmdp); u_short au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm(int local_fcntl_cmd); DESCRIPTION
These interfaces may be used to convert between the local and BSM fcntl(2) command values. The au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd() function accepts a BSM command value, bsm_fcntl_cmd, and converts it to a local command value passed to fcntl(2), that will be stored in the integer pointed to by local_fcntl_cmdp if successful. This call will fail if the BSM command value cannot be mapped into a local fcntl(2) command value which may occur if the command token was generated on another operating system. The au_fcntl_cmd_to_bsm() function accepts a local fcntl(2) command value, and returns the BSM fcntl(2) command value for it. This call can- not fail, and instead returns a BSM command value indicating to a later decoder that the command value could not be encoded. RETURN VALULES
On success, au_bsm_to_fcntl_cmd() returns 0 and a converted command value; on failure, it returns -1 but does not set errno(2). SEE ALSO
fcntl(2), au_bsm_to_domain(3), au_domain_to_bsm(3), au_bsm_to_socket_type(3), au_socket_type_to_bsm(3), libbsm(3) HISTORY
au_bsm_to_domain() and au_domain_to_bsm() were introduced in OpenBSM 1.1. AUTHORS
These functions were implemented by Stacey Son under contract to Apple Inc. The Basic Security Module (BSM) interface to audit records and audit event stream format were defined by Sun Microsystems. BSD
