Setting System Definition Defaults

Access the System Defaults page (PeopleTools, Performance Monitor, Administration, Global Monitoring Defaults).

The System Defaults page enables you to set default values for all of the monitored systems. If you intend to monitor numerous systems, you can set the default values that you need for a system. When a new systems register with the monitoring system for the first time, the system adopts the default values that you have set.

Using the System Defaults page enables you to set global values for each monitored system rather than modifying the values for each system separately.

This example illustrates the fields and controls on the System Defaults page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.
