By default, NetApp Filers KM for PATROL automatically determines which mechanism (Tuning or Event Management) is best suited to the managed system when it first runs. This threshold mechanism selection can however be modified later on through the Threshold Mechanism Selection KM Command:
1. | Right-click the KM main icon > KM Commands > KM Settings > Additional Settings > Threshold Mechanism Selection... |
Select one of the following options:
• | Tuning: If selected, the KM will manage its thresholds through the standard internal PATROL mechanism (Override parameters). Thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration under the /___tuning___ tree. |
• | Event Management: If this option is selected, the KM will manage its thresholds through the Event Management mechanism. Thresholds are stored in the PATROL Agent configuration under the /AS tree. This option requires that you set up the PATROL for Event Management KM on your PATROL Agent. PATROL for Event Management has to be enabled and preloaded.
If you use PATROL for Event Management to manage thresholds in PATROL, it is strongly recommended that you use this option in NetApp Filers KM for PATROL too. |
• | No Thresholds: NetApp Filers KM for PATROL will not set any thresholds on the monitored objects. You are required to set them manually. |
In order to avoid side effects and unpredictable behavior, if you change the threshold mechanism (from “Event Management” to “Tuning” or the other way around), the KM will automatically recreate the default thresholds settings using the new threshold mechanism. Manually customized thresholds however are not automatically migrated.
