To Disable Monitoring for a Server

You might want to disable monitoring of a hardware component to perform maintenance tasks without generating events.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

   See To Access the N1 System Manager Command Line for details.

2. Set the monitored attribute to false by using the set server command.

   N1-ok> set server server monitored false

   In this example, server is the name of the provisionable server that you want to stop monitoring. Executing this command disables monitoring of the server. With monitoring of a server disabled, the violation of threshold values by attributes related to that server does not generate events.

3. View the server details.

   N1-ok> show server server

   The output shows that monitoring is disabled.

   If you are not interested in the values of some OS resource utilization attributes, you can disable the threshold severity for the monitoring of those attributes, while continuing to monitor other OS resource utilization attributes. This action prevents annoyance alarms. Example 5–4 shows how to accomplish this task. For general information about threshold values, see Monitoring Threshold Values. You can also completely remove the OS resource utilization monitoring feature. See To Remove the OS Monitoring Feature.
