System
default parameters
System defaults are system-wide settings
that affect the
Global Manager
and its clients. system-default-parameters.html#GUID-950F7FBB-ABD1-4B77-9DB7-960DC0F9457B-en__SA_CONFIG_PARAMS_46325 describes the System Defaults parameters.Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Auto Acknowledgement Interval | Defines interval,
in seconds, after which an inactive and unowned
notification is acknowledged. Notifications that are acknowledged
by the Global Manager are owned by the user SYSTEM. Default : 300 seconds |
Inactive
Auto Archive Interval | Defines interval, in seconds,
after which an inactive and acknowledged notification is archived.
If this value is set to zero, archiving is disabled and notifications
will not be deleted, causing Global Manager to use more memory. Default : 14400 seconds (4 hours) |
Audit Trail Size Limit | Defines the number
of audit log entries for each notification that are saved and visible
in the Global Console before the log contents are archived. When this
limit is reached, half of the entries are written to the notification
archive. Default : 100 entries |
SMTP Server | Defines the name of the SMTP
mail server through which mail messages sent by the Global Console’s
Mail tool are sent. This mail server must be reachable from the host
where the Global Manager is running. This value can be overridden
in the Global Console. Default : “localhost” |
Fetch Local Notification Properties | Defines how the properties of a particular notification
are retrieved when requested by a client application. Client applications
include the Global Console, the dmctl utility, and adapters. If set to “true”, properties are retrieved from the Global Manager.
If set to “false”, properties are retrieved from the Global Manager
and from the underlying domain. Default : False |
RMI Time Out | Defines
the maximum amount of time, in seconds, the Global Manager is allotted
to retrieve Notification Properties, Find System, or get System Containment
information from an underlying domain. If a negative value is specified,
no time-out value is set. Default : 60
seconds |
Number Of Worker Threads | Defines the number of worker threads used by the escalation
mechanism in executing tools associated with escalation levels in
escalation paths. Increase the number of threads if the escalation
mechanism falls behind in executing tools for escalation levels. Valid
values are 1 - 10. Default : 2 |
Broadcast Event State on Restart | Defines
whether notifications that result from internal Global Manager events
are propagated to clients that subscribe to them. Internal Global
Manager events include system disconnects and system reconfigurations.
If set to True, notifications resulting from internal Global Manager
events are propagated. If set to False, the events are not propagated. Example: In the case of the value being TRUE in a hierarchical
SAM configuration, notifications at presentation level SAM will go
to ‘Suspended’ state if there is a disconnect between aggregation
level SAM and a source domain. This will happen because aggregation
SAM will broadcast the notification state change from Active to WAS_ACTIVE.
In the case of the value being False, the notifications in the aggregation
SAM will change to WAS_ACTIVE, but no change will be sent to presentation
level SAM. When aggregation SAM reconnects to the source domain events
it will send clears for notifications that are no longer active. When configuring this parameter, the value must be identical for
all Service Assurance Manager servers within your Service Assurance Manager deployment.
For changes to this parameter configuration to take effect, the Service Assurance Manager servers
must be restarted. For optimum benefit, configure
this parameter as early in your Service Assurance Manager deployment as possible, before all
source domains are added to the Service Assurance Manager server. The quickest way to apply
this parameter configuration is to restart the Service Assurance Manager server.
However, if you are configuring this parameter in a production environment,
apply the parameter configuration to the Service Assurance Manager server
by making a minimal change to the configuration of each of the underlying
source domain types, and clicking the Reconfigure button. One example of a minimal configuration change is to modify
the value for the Smoothing Interval parameter. A minimal configuration
change is required for each domain type. This results in the Service Assurance Manager server
disconnecting from each underlying domain, rereading all the settings
including the new modification, and then reconnecting to the underlying
domains.Default : True |
Hierarchical Acknowledge | Defines whether
acknowledging or unacknowledging a notification in the server sends
the acknowledge (or unacknowledged) information to the underlying
servers. If set to True, the notification in the underlying servers
are also acknowledged or unacknowledged. If set to False, the notification
in the underlying servers are not changed. Default : True |
Companion UI Hostname | Defines the location of the related Companion UI vApp. The accepted
values are the Domain Name System (DNS) host or the IP address of
the vApp (for example, companionUI or companionUI.mycompany.com). |
Use DNS Lookup in This Domain | Defines whether the system performs Domain Name System (DNS) searches
when searching for computer systems. If set to True, the system queries
the DNS in this domain. When performing a
DNS search, perform the search from the Adapter Platform (OI). Default : True |
Use DNS Lookup in Underlying Domains | Defines whether
the system performs Domain Name when searching for computer systems.
If set to True, the system queries the DNS in underlying domains. Default : True |
Use
DNS Domains in DNS Lookup | Defines whether DNS domains
are used when the system performs a DNS search. If set to false, only
original domain names are used during the DNS search. Default : False |
DNS Domain Names | Defines the list of domain names the system uses when
performing a DNS search. When entering multiple
domain names, separate each domain name with a comma. |
Underlying Domains Order | Defines the order
in which the underlying domains are searched. When entering multiple domain names, separate each domain name
with a comma. |
Fully Qualified
Domain Name Suffixes | Defines which domain names
returned as a result of performing a DNS search are considered to
be fully qualified. Domain names matching suffixes entered in this
parameter are considered fully qualified. |
