Configure Search Criteria - Override Default Settings dialog box

Search Identifier label

Displays the search identifier that helps you identify a search criterion. This label appears in the search list.

Override default setting check box

Select this check box to override the default setting for the search criterion that you have specified in the Add file for Label: instanceNamedialog box.

Threshold #1 text box

Enter the number of search string matches that must occur before generating a specified state. For example, if the Match Count field value is 3, the text search string must occur 3 times in the monitored file before the KM goes into the state specified by the State list. This threshold overrides the default threshold value specified in the Add file for Label: instanceName dialog box, if you select the Override default setting check box.

State list

Select the state that you want the product to exhibit when the Threshold-Match Count value is reached: None, OK, Warn, or Alarm. For example, if you want the KM to go into an alarm if the search string is found 3 times in the monitored file, then you would set the value ofThreshold #1: Match Count to 3 and select Alarm from the State list. This state overrides the default state specified in the Add file for Label:instanceName dialog box, if you select the Override default settingcheck box.

Threshold #2 text box

If you want the KM to exhibit a second state when a different number of search strings occurs, enter the number of matched search strings in this text box. Threshold #2 should always be higher thanThreshold #1. For example, if you set the Threshold #1 Match Count to alarm when 3 occurrences of the search string are found and you want the KM to warn when 1 occurrence of the search string is found, enter 1 in the Threshold #2: Match Count text box. This threshold overrides the default threshold specified in the Add file for Label: instanceName dialog box, if you select the Override default setting check box.

State list

Select the state that the KM will exhibit when the Threshold#2 Match Count value is reached: None, OK, Warn, or Alarm.

Custom Event Message text box

Enter the message that you want to get displayed when the search criteria are satisfied. For more information, see Customizing event messages. This message overrides the default message provided in the Add file for Label: instanceName dialog box.

Custom Event Origin text box

Specify the customized origin for events. If you do not specify an origin, the KM uses the default origin, which is APPCLASS. INSTANCE.textFileName. You can use built-in macros (except the %x-y macro) as the customized origin for events. For more information about built-in macros, see Built-in macros. This origin overrides the default origin provided in the Add File for Label: instanceName dialog box.

Ignore duplicate events for next ... Minutes text box

Specify an interval in minutes during which the product does not generate an event after the first match and its corresponding event After the specified time elapses, the search criteria generate an event for the next match.

Generate ALARM when pattern not found within ..Polling Intervals text box

Specify the number of polling intervals, after which an alarm should be generated if the search pattern is not found within those polling intervals.
