Known problems

After update, it could happen that parameters for the service dissapear. Check existence with the following command:

db configuration show sysmon

If nothing appear, use the following command:

db configuration set sysmon service status enabled debug release
service sysmon stop
service sysmon start

From verison 6, debug mode are present for the service so that remote debuging are easer. To activate it, use the command:

db configuration setprop sysmon debug debug

Wait for about 5 minutes and go check file /var/log/sysmon You can send it to me, you'll find my address in the spec of RPM.
