You can control which log files the SystemEDGE agent monitors by adding, deleting, or modifying entries in the Log Monitor table.
You can configure the Log Monitor table in the following ways:
CA Server Automation provides the ability to configure agents installed on any system that it manages from the CA Server Automation user interface. This is the recommended method of configuration, because it provides the ability to dynamically define and deliver monitors with a user-friendly and secure mechanism that does not require an agent restart. You can configure monitoring for an individual agent or define monitoring policies to apply on multiple managed systems. When you make an individual configuration change or apply a configuration policy, CA Server Automation delivers a new configuration file to the agent system. CA Server Automation can serve as the central point of agent configuration across your data center, and you can overwrite or deny changes made through other methods.
For more information about configuring the agent using CA Server Automation, see the CA Server Automation documentation.
Various management systems support adding monitors to SystemEDGE through SNMP Set commands. eHealth provides this functionality through the AdvantEDGE View interface, CA NSM enables configuration through an Agent View, and Spectrum Infrastructure Manager enables configuration through OneClick. All features provided by dynamic configuration through CA Server Automation are not available through these methods.
For more information about SNMP Set configuration, see the documentation for the appropriate management system.
Manual configuration requires you to add entries to the local sysedge.cf file using specific directives. When you configure the agent directly from the sysedge.cf file, a full restart is required for changes to take effect. Use the sysedge.cf file located in the agent data directory for direct configuration.
This section describes how to configure self monitoring directly in the local sysedge.cf file, but it describes the properties that are required for all forms of configuration.
