Managing Advanced Configuration Variables

 Home  Previous  Next

Advanced configuration variables are used to manually set variables that are not available through the TrueSight standard interface.

warningThese variables should only be set when instructed so by Sentry Software Support.

List of available configuration variables

Variables

Default Value

Description

automaticReinitialization

0 = disabled

If set to 1, triggers a re-initialization of the monitoring solution. The discovery checks this variable every minute and deletes it before performing the re-initialization.

collectionHubHeapSizeMax

1024

Maximum heap size in megabytes allocated to the Java Collection Hub.

collectionHubHeapSizeMin

None

Minimum heap size in megabytes allocated to Java Collection Hub.

Default: Not set

collectionHubOverrideJavaCommandLine

None

Command line used by the monitoring solution to launch the Java Collection Hub.

Default: Not set

This variable should only be set if instructed by Sentry Support.

defaultReinitializationOptions

None

List of default options to be executed by TrueSight Operations Management - NetApp Storage on reinitialization.

•resetThresholds
•resetThresholdManagementMode
•resetAlertActions
•resetOtherAlertSettings
•resetDebugMode
•resetRemovedPausedObjectList
•resetReport
•resetSecuritySettings
•resetJavaSettings

Insert a colon “;” between the variable and its value: “resetThresholds;1”; and if you enter multiple variables, they need to be separated by a carriage return.

disableJRECheck

0 = JRE validation tests enabled

When set to 1, disable the validation tests of the JRE used by the monitoring solution to run Java code. This can be used to force the monitoring solution to use a non-Sun or non-Oracle JRE.

disablePslExecuteBugWorkaround

0 = activated

When set to ‘1’, deactivates the workaround in the monitoring solution for a bug in the PslExecute() PSL function.

If the monitoring solution detects that the version of the PATROL Agent is affected by the PslExecute() bug, it uses an alternate technique to create asynchronous threads with the event_trigger() function and the RemPsl standard event. The disablePslExecuteBugWorkaround variable disables this workaround.

forceClassicConfigMode

0 = disabled

When the monitoring solution is used with TrueSight OM, all the KM configuration menus are disabled in the PATROL Consoles. To enable them, set the forceClassicConfigMode variable to 1.

javaPath

None

Path to the folder containing the Java executable used by the Collection Hub.

Default: Not set (The monitoring solution will search for a suitable JRE automatically).

javaPassword

None

Password associated to the javaUsername variable.

javaUsername

None

Username used to launch the Java Collection Hub.

Default: Not set.

pausedObjectList

n/a

List of the PATROL object path of the paused objects. (i.e. for which no collection will be performed).

productVersion

n/a

Indicates the version level of the configuration. This should always match with the monitoring solution version. The monitoring solution uses this variable to perform migration operations on the configuration variables. The variable is automatically set by the monitoring solution during its initialization.

pscommand

n/a

Command used on UNIX/Linux systems to retrieve the list of the currently running processes.

Note: This command is used for debug purpose.

removedObjectList

None

List of instances that have been removed from the monitoring environment through the 'Remove' KM Command through a standard PATROL console.

Default: Not set.

retryDiscoveryAfterNTimes

5

Specifies the maximum number of retries when the discovery fails.

startupDelay

0 second

To specify the number of seconds that TrueSight Operations Management - NetApp Storage will wait before starting its discovery. This variable may be useful on fast booting computers where the NetApp Filer starts after the KM and triggers an alert.

To set a configuration variable

1.Create a new policy or edit an existing policy.
2.Click Add Monitoring Configuration and scroll down to the Advanced Configuration Variables section and click Add to open the Configuration Variables panel:

105_NetApp_Configuring_Variables_Add

Adding a Configuration Variable

3.In the Configuration Variables panel, enter the name of the configuration variable and enter the value to be set. Refer to the table above to learn about all the configuration variables you can use to perform operations you cannot complete with the console standard user interface.
