MODIFY EVENTS TEST
The Modify Events Test window allows you to change an existing test
configuration.
It includes the following fields.
Hostnames field
Use this field to specify which hosts will be configured for this test.
Leave a blank space for multiple entries.
Testname field
Specify a test name. This must be the full path name of the file
(directory) or process that you want to monitor.
Units of Measure field
This field displays what the standard units of measure are for the
test. Sub-command field
This field displays the events-defined sub-command if there is one that
the test uses during its execution.
Internal Test field
This field displays whether this test is an Events built-in test or a
user-defined test.
Test Group field
This field displays the test group type for this test.
State option
Turn on or off the test.
Severity option
Specify the severity level to assign this test from the following
criteria: OK, Informational, Warning, Error, or Severe
Use PEP option
Specify wether this test should use PEP to report its results or filter
any action to be taken.
Logging option
Specify whether logging should be enabled for this test.
Delta option
If you enabled Logging, then you can use this field to established a
"changed by" value. Enlighten records the most recent value measured by
the test if that value differs by atleat this delta amount from the
previously logged value.
Mailer field
Specify which mail program should be used to deliver any alarms to the
user. The default is /bin/mail. If you use another mail program, it
must be the same syntax as the standard UNIX mail program.
User field
You can specify the user(s) who should receive any alarm information.
The default is root. Leave a blank space between each user name for
multiple entries. If you set the value to nobody, no mail will be
sent.
Command field
Specify any executable this test should run when it sets an alarm. This
can be a script or a compiled executable.
Age field
This field specifies a threshold for when a file is considered to have
aged in a directory. This value is only available if this test will
monitor a queue.
Test Freq field
You can specify how often to run the test. The default is every five
minutes.
Alarm Freq field
Specify how long to wait before sending another new alarm about this
test. The default is every hour.
High Thresh field
Specify an absolute high level alarm set point for the data you're
measuring in the test. This can be an integer or floating-point value.
Low Thresh field
Specify an absolute low level alarm set point for the data you're
measuring in this test. This can be an integer or floating-point
value.
Pos Rate field
You can use this field to specify a positive percentage change alarm
set point for the data you're measuring in this test. This threshold
compares the test value with the last measured value (check for for
percentage of change since last tested). This must be a floating-point
value.
Neg Rate field
You can use this field to specify a negative percentage change alarm
set point for the data you're measuring in this test. This threshold
compares the test value with the last measured value (check for for
percentage of change since last tested). This must be a floating-point
value.
Pos Jump field
Specify a positive incremental change alarm set point for the data
you're measuring in this test.This threshold compares the current test
value with the last measured value (check for change of X points since
last tested). This can be an integer or floating-point value.
Neg Jump field
Specify a negative incremental change alarm set point for the data
you're measuring in this test.This threshold compares the current test
value with the last measured value (check for change of X points since
last tested). This can be an integer or floating-point value.
API File field
If you're using an API test, use this field to specify the full
pathname of the file which will hold the results of your test.
API Data field
If you're creating an API test, use this field to specify which field
or column holds the data value to monitor. Use a digit prefaced by an
"f" for a field number or a "c" for a column number. The default
assumes this values is a field number. If you're using a column
designator, each character in any input file line/row is handled as one
column.
API Label field
If you're creating an API test, you can use this field to specify which
field in your file contains a descriptive word or label.
Logfile Clamping Regular Expressions
You can use regular expressions to define types of messages based upon
pattern matching. When one or more of these message types are found in
a file, an alarm is sent to whatever agents you specify in your test.
Each time this test is run, it only evaluates those file entries which
were added since the last occurrence of this test.
