Agent Level

At the agent level, you can change the aspects of the resource you are monitoring, how often you gather information from the resource, how often you report the information to the manager, and so on. For example, with the z/OS system agent, you can specify that file systems are to be monitored and the exact name of the file systems to be monitored for this computer.

Agent level configuration has the following parts:

• MIB that defines the attributes of the managed objects
• Configuration sets that define which objects the agent monitors, how the agent gathers resource data, and how the agent assesses the state of managed objects

Note: For more information about configuring agents, see the CA NSM documentation.
