Configure using PATROL Configuration Manager
Agent configuration variables are the means by which the characteristics of a PATROL Agent are defined. To configure a host for monitoring by using PATROL Configuration Manager, add the following set of agent configuration variables, and apply it on the PATROL Agent that runs PATROL for Composite Attributes.
The following table lists the rule set files, which are available at C:\Program Files (x86)\BMC Software\Patrol3\cmp.
Directory path and variable | Description | Default value | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
Logical expression ruleset | |||
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/InstanceLabel | Unique display name that is used to identify the Composite instance. An instance gets created with this display name. | None | ProcessorLoad |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AttributeTitle | Name of the Composite attribute.This name is used to represent the attribute in TrueSight. | None | Processor Load |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/ExpressionType | Type of expression. | 1 (Logical) | Logical |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AttributeList/<ATTRIBUTE_VARIABLE>/AttributeLabel | An alias name for the attribute path that is used to create the expression. Special characters and blank spaces are not supported. | None | CPUUsage |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AttributeList/<ATTRIBUTE_VARIABLE>/MonitorAttributePath | Attribute path of the existing monitor type. | None | /NT_HEALTH/NT_HEALTH/ProcessorUtilization |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/CompositeExpression | Create a logical expression using the attribute variables. | None | CPUUsage > 80 |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/ExpectedResult | Evaluate the logical expression to true or false condition. | True | False |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AlertState | Set attribute state to warning or critical. | 1 (Critical) | 2 (Warning) |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/ParentInstance | The existing instance name that is used as a parent for the created composite instance. | /COMPOSITE_CNTR/COMPOSITE_CNTR | /NT_HEALTH/NT_HEALTH |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/PollTime | The time interval between two consecutive statistical data polls in minutes. | 5 | 2 |
/Composite/java_home | The full path of the JRE directory on the PATROL Agent Server. Java version must be 1.8 or later. | None | C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_151 |
/Composite/jvm_args | Additional JAVA process arguments. | None | -Xms256m |
Arithmetic expression ruleset | |||
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/InstanceLabel | Unique display name that is used to identify the Composite instance. An instance gets created with this display name. | None | MemoryGB |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AttributeTitle | Name of the Composite attribute.This name is used to represent the attribute in TrueSight. | None | Memory in GB |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/ExpressionType | Type of expression. | 2 (Arithmetic) | 2 (Arithmetic) |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AttributeList/<ATTRIBUTE_VARIABLE>/AttributeLabel | An alias name for the attribute path that is used to create the expression. Special characters and blank spaces are not supported. | None | MemoryMB |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/AttributeList/ATTRIBUTE_VARIABLE/MonitorAttributePath | The attribute path of the existing monitor type. | None | /NT_MEMORY/NT_MEMORY/MEMmemAvailableBytes |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/CompositeExpression | Create an arithmetic expression using the attribute variables. | None | MemoryMB / 1024 |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/ParentInstance | The existing instance name that is used as a parent for the created composite instance. | COMPOSITE_CNTR/COMPOSITE_CNTR | /NT_MEMORY/NT_MEMORY |
/Composite/CompositeAttributeList/<COMPOSITE_INSTANCE_NAME>/PollTime | The time interval between two consecutive statistical data polls in minutes. | 5 | 2 |
/Composite/java_home | The full path of JRE directory on the PATROL Agent Server. Java version must be 1.8 or later. | None | C:\\Program Files\\Java\\jre1.8.0_151 |
