Configuring the Composite Agent Level monitor in TrueSight
PATROL for Composite Attributes enables you to create and monitor custom attribute using one or more existing monitor attributes running on a PATROL Agent. The KM constructs a composite monitor using a logical or arithmetic expression on existing monitor attributes. This topic provides information about how to configure agent-level monitoring in the Composite Attributes KM by using the TrueSight console.
To configure agent-level monitoring in the KM, set the following preferences on the Add Monitoring Configuration dialog.
Monitoring Solution | Version | Monitor Profile | Monitor Type |
|---|---|---|---|
Composite Attributes | 1.0.00 | Composite Attributes | Composite Agent Level |

Composite Monitor Attribute Configuration | ||
Instance Label | Specify a unique label to identify the composite instance. An instance gets created with this label. For example: CPUHealth | |
Composite Attribute Name | Specify an attribute title to represent the composite attribute in the TrueSight console. For example: Processor Load | |
Expression Type | Select the type of expression:

Source Attribute List | ||
Attribute Path Variable | Specify a variable name for an existing attribute that is used for creating an expression. For example: Attribute CPUprcrLdleTimePercent of Processor monitor can be specified as CPU_IDLE_TIME. | |
Attribute Path | Specify the path of the monitor attribute that is used for creating the expression. Use this format: /Application class/Application Instance Sid/Parameter. For more information on how to find the path of the attributes, see Agent-actions. For example: /NT_CPU/CPU_0/CPUprcrIdleTimePercent | |
Create expression using Attribute Path Variables list | Enter a logical/arithmetic expression using variables specified in the attribute list. For example: CPU_IDLE_TIME > 70 | |
Polling Interval (in minutes) | Specify the interval between two consecutive statistical data polls. Default: 5 minutes | |
Logical Expression Alert Options | ||
When Expression evaluates to | Select the evaluation type:
| |
Alert Type | Select the alert type:
| |
Parent Configuration | ||
Parent Instance Name | Specify the instance name that is used as a parent for the created instances. Use this format: Application Class/Application Instance Sid. By default, all the instances are created under /COMPOSITE_CNTR/COMPOSITE_CNTR. For example: /NT_HEALTH/NT_HEALTH | |
JAVA Home | Specify the full path of the JRE directory on the PATROL Agent server. By default, PATROL for Composite Attributes uses JAVA Runtime Environment (JRE) that is installed in the PATROL Agent. | |
Optional JVM Arguments | Specify additional Java process arguments. | |
Enable Logging | Select this option to enable debug. | |
Add to List | Select this option to confirm the configuration information that you provided and add it to the list. | |
Modify Selection | Select one of the items that you added to the list in the preceding step, and click this option to modify details. | |
Remove from List | Select the items added earlier and click this option to delete that item from the list of configured objects and the clear the details provided in the earlier fields. | |
Add | Click this option to add this monitoring configuration. This information is displayed on the Monitor Configuration page. After you click this option, you can continue to add more objects for monitoring. | |
Close | Click this option to exit without saving any changes. | |
