Configure Object Aggregation

By default, the hse agent aggregates monitors in a managed object that contains the same values for the object class, instance, and attribute properties. For example, the agent combines all monitors with a class of SysHealth, an instance of CPU, and an attribute of SysTime in an aggregate managed object.

By default, the 
CA SystemEDGE
 agent aggregates monitors in a managed object that contains the same values for the object class, instance, and attribute properties. For example, the agent combines all monitors with a class of SysHealth, an instance of CPU, and an attribute of SysTime in an aggregate managed object.
You can configure the agent to aggregate objects on higher levels when you define 
CA SystemEDGE
 policy. You can also configure other aspects of agent behavior that are related to object aggregation and the state management model.
Follow these steps:
  1. Click the
    Resources
    tab, open the
    Configure
    pane, expand
    Policies
    , and click
    SystemEDGE.
  2. On the
    Available Policies
    page, select the policy in the
    Available Policies
    table.
  3. On the
    Summary
    page for the policy, click
    Control Settings
    .
  4. On the
    Controls
    page, click
    Aggregate Monitors
    .
  5. On the
    Aggregate Monitors
    page, select one or more check boxes to specify aggregation levels.
    The check boxes represent higher aggregation levels than the default, up to aggregating all monitors to one top-level agent object. Specifying aggregation levels lets you create a tiered object architecture that propagates status up to the level you specify.
  6. Configure the following other settings, then click
    Save Policy
    :
    • Send legacy traps for all aggregated monitors
      Specifies whether to send legacy traps for all monitors that comprise a managed object. By default, the agent only sends a state change trap for the monitor with the highest severity, even if other monitors in the object experience threshold breaches.
    • Execute commands of all aggregated monitors
      Specifies whether to run action commands for all monitors that comprise a managed object. By default, the agent only runs an action command for the monitor with the highest severity, even if other monitors in the object experience threshold breaches.
    The aggregation settings are configured. Your changes take effect when you apply or reapply the policy.
