+  <appsummary>OS Monitoring Application</appsummary>
+  <description>
+    <p>The operating system monitor, OS_Mon, provides the following
+      services:</p>
+    <list type="bulleted">
+      <item><seealso marker="cpu_sup">cpu_sup</seealso>
+       CPU load and utilization supervision (Unix)</item>
+      <item><seealso marker="disksup">disksup</seealso>
+       Disk supervision(Unix, Windows)</item>
+      <item><seealso marker="memsup">memsup</seealso>
+       Memory supervision (Unix, Windows, VxWorks)</item>
+      <item><seealso marker="os_sup">os_sup</seealso>
+       Interface to OS system messages (Solaris, Windows)</item>
+    </list>
+    <p>To simplify usage of OS_Mon on distributed Erlang systems, it is
+      not considered an error trying to use a service at a node where it
+      is not available (either because OS_Mon is not running, or because
+      the service is not available for that OS, or because the service
+      is not started). Instead, a warning message is issued via
+      <c>error_logger</c> and a dummy value is returned, which one is
+      specified in the man pages for the respective services.</p>
+  </description>
+
+  <section>
+    <title>Configuration</title>
+    <p>When OS_Mon is started, by default all services available for
+      the OS, except <c>os_sup</c>, are automatically started. This
+      configuration can be changed using the following application
+      configuration parameters:</p>
+    <taglist>
+      <tag><c>start_cpu_sup = bool()</c></tag>
+      <item>
+        <p>Specifies if <c>cpu_sup</c> should be started. Defaults to
+          <c>true</c>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <tag><c>start_disksup = bool()</c></tag>
+      <item>
+        <p>Specifies if <c>disksup</c> should be started. Defaults to
+          <c>true</c>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <tag><c>start_memsup = bool()</c></tag>
+      <item>
+        <p>Specifies if <c>memsup</c> should be started. Defaults to
+          <c>true</c>.</p>
+      </item>
+      <tag><c>start_os_sup = bool()</c></tag>
+      <item>
+        <p>Specifies if <c>os_sup</c> should be started. Defaults to
+          <c>false</c>.</p>
+      </item>
+    </taglist>
+    <p>Configuration parameters effecting the different OS_Mon services
+      are described in the respective man pages.</p>
+    <p>See <seealso marker="kernel:config">config(4)</seealso> for
+      information about how to change the value of configuration
+      parameters.</p>

+  <section>
+    <title>SNMP MIBs</title>
+    <p>The following MIBs are defined in OS_Mon:</p>
+    <taglist>
+      <tag>OTP-OS-MON-MIB</tag>
+      <item>
+        <p>This MIB contains objects for instrumentation of disk,
+          memory and CPU usage of the nodes in the system.</p>
+      </item>
+    </taglist>
+    <p>The MIB is stored in the <c>mibs</c> directory.  It is defined
+      in SNMPv2 SMI syntax. An SNMPv1 version of the MIB is delivered
+      in the <c>mibs/v1</c> directory.</p>
+    <p>The compiled MIB is located under <c>priv/mibs</c>, and
+      the generated <c>.hrl</c> file under the <c>include</c> directory.
+      To compile a MIB that IMPORTS the <c>OTP-OS-MON-MIB</c>, give
+      the option <c>{il, ["os_mon/priv/mibs"]}</c> to the MIB compiler.</p>
+    <p>If the MIB should be used in a system, it should be loaded into
+      an agent with a call to <c>os_mon_mib:load(Agent)</c>, where
+      <c>Agent</c> is the pid or registered name of an SNMP agent. Use
+      <c>os_mon_mib:unload(Agent)</c> to unload the MIB.
+      The implementation of this MIB uses Mnesia to store a cache with
+      data needed, which implicates that Mnesia must be up and running.
+      The MIB also use functions defined for the <c>OTP-MIB</c>, thus
+      that MIB must be loaded as well.</p>
