Changing Threshold Values With the Monitoring Configuration File

You can modify default values for thresholds by editing the monitoring.properties configuration file.

If the monitoring.properties configuration file is not present, create and save it in /etc/opt/sun/n1gc/. The monitoring.properties configuration file is not created by default at installation.

Any entries that you make in the monitoring.properties configuration file for the threshold values of the attributes listed in Table 5–1 overwrite the factory-configured defaults for the corresponding threshold values.

The monitoring.properties configuration file should be stored only on the management server and not on provisionable servers.

Modifying or adding new entries to the monitoring.properties configuration file affects all the provisionable servers managed by the N1 System Manager.

Specific threshold values can be set at the command line by following the procedures described in Setting Threshold Values.

Once a default value for a monitored item has been modified by manually adding it in the monitoring.properties configuration file, that modified default value applies to all provisionable servers except those servers for which specific values for the monitored attribute have been set at the command line.

You do not need to reboot the management server or the monitored provisionable server for changes to the monitoring.properties file to take effect.

Monitored attributes for hardware health that are declared as percentages cannot be changed either at the command line or in the monitoring.properties file.
