Defining Domain Manager parameters
Domain Manager
parametersA
Domain Manager
refers
to an underlying analysis application, such as IP Availability Manager
, , Adapter Platform
, or other Global Manager
that
serves as a source of event and topology data. You specify these domains
and the parameters that control the import of event and topology data
in the domainconfig section of the ics-default.xml file.The
domainconfig section is divided into one
or more domaintype subsections, each of which defines the configuration
for one or more underlying domains. The following example shows the
syntax of a domainconfig section when the underlying domain is
IP Availability Manager
:<domainconfig> <domaintype name="AM-Suite" description="Type for AM-Suite" dxaConfFile="dxa-conn.conf" MinimumCertainty="0.01" SmoothingInterval="65"> <hook enable="False">ics/dxa-sample-hook.asl</hook> <domainname>INCHARGE-AM-1</domainname> <domainname>INCHARGE-AM-2</domainname> </domaintype>
Parameters
defining the domainconfig
section describes the domainconfig
parameters.
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
name | Defines the domain
name. |
description | Defines the description
of the domaintype. |
dxaConfFile | Defines
the data exchange file that corresponds to the underlying domain.
A data exchange file ensures that Global Manager receives
the correct event and topology data. defining-parameters.html#GUID-123E6D14-952A-45E9-8B7B-8EAC006031EC-en__SA_CONFIG_SYSTEM_CONFIG_63204 specifies the correct data
exchange file for each product. |
MinimumCertainty | Defines the minimum value that the Certainty attribute
must have before an event is sent to the Global Manager from
the underlying domain. Events with a Certainty value below the threshold
are discarded. This value must be a number between 0.0 and 0.99.The default value is 0.01 for IP Availability Manager and IP Performance Manager .
Otherwise the default is 0.24.The MinimumCertainity
parameter does not apply to underlying Adapter Platform servers or
other Global Managers. |
SmoothingInterval | Defines the time, in seconds, an event must be active
before it is sent to the Global Manager . The default value is 65 seconds. The SmoothingInterval parameter does not apply
to underlying Adapter Platform servers or other Global Manager s. |
hook | [Optional] Defines
the name of an ASL script that modifies a notification. Typically,
this is used to add information to one of the user-defined fields
of a notification. Hook scripts must be located in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/rules
directory. You must prefix the name of the script with the directory
in which it is located, typically this is the ics directory. For example, the ics/dxa-sample-hook.asl hook script is located
in the BASEDIR/smarts/local/rules/ics directory. The default ASL hook scripts are placeholders for a script you
must provide. A hook script is not required unless you need to perform
additional processing on the notifications coming from the underlying
domain. “User-defined notification attributes” on page 115 describes possible uses for hook scripts. |
domainname | Defines the name of the underlying domain.
You can specify multiple domains with the same configuration by adding
name parameters to the domaintype section. However, the value of each
name parameter within a domaintype section must be unique. |
