Defining system
defaults
System defaults are system-wide
settings that affect the
Global Manager
and its clients.
To configure system defaults:
- Open theGlobal Manager Administration Console.
- From theManagerlist, select the SAM Manager.
- ExpandICS Configuration.
- Click System Defaults.TheConfigure System Defaultsinterface appears, as illustrated in Global Manager Administration Console—Configure System Defaults.Global Manager Administration Console—Configure System Defaults
System Defaults parameters 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. 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.
The values configured
for this parameter affect the performance of the
Service Assurance Manager .
Client applications
include the Global Console, the dmctl utility, and adapters.
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.
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 uses 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.
