Benefits of Using the PATROL KM for Event Management

esg_u27-51.png

When you set parameter thresholds using the PATROL KM for Event Management, the thresholds are stored in agent configuration variables, not in the KM files. This feature makes upgrades easier since your thresholds are stored externally to the KM files. It also allows you to define the settings on one agent and use the PATROL Configuration Manager to deploy the settings throughout your environment. In addition, if a KM is committed to an agent whose thresholds are being set through the PATROL KM for Event Management, the thresholds stored in the agent configuration variables are reapplied to the agent. This action prevents the PATROL KM for Event Management thresholds from being overwritten. 

Warning

Note

When you make thresholds changes using the PATROL KM for Event Management, these changes are not reflected in the console display because the changes are made at the agent, not in the console KM files.
