To Set Threshold Values for a Server Group

Before You Begin

To enable the management agent IP and security credentials on a server named server, add the management features on the server as explained in Adding Base and OS Management Features.

Steps

1. Log in to the N1 System Manager.

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

2. Use the set group command with the threshold attribute.

   The syntax requires the threshold keyword to be followed by the attribute for which you are setting a threshold. The attribute is an OS resource utilization attribute. OS resource utilization attributes are described in OS Resource Utilization Monitoring and listed in Table 5–2.

   The threshold is either criticallow, warninglow, warninghigh, or criticalhigh. The value is a numeric figure, and usually represents a percentage.

   • To modify one threshold for the server group:

     N1-ok> set group group threshold attribute threshold value

   • To modify multiple thresholds for the server group:

     N1-ok> set group group threshold attribute threshold value threshold value

Example 5–5 Setting Multiple Threshold Values for File System Usage on a Server Group

This example shows how to set the file system usage warninghigh threshold to 75 percent on a group of provisionable servers with a group name of grp3. This example also shows how to set the criticalhigh threshold severity value to 87 percent.
