Managing Configuration Entries

Use the Configuration Entries page to view and manage the configuration settings associated with queries.

To view or manage configuration settings

1. Highlight a query in the Configuration Entries table. You can apply filters to the entries for configuration set, severity, query class, and escalation severity using the show and hide filter icon (binoculars).

   The Details of Individual Configuration Entry pane appears.

2. View or update the following values and click Save.

   Index

   Specifies a unique index for this configuration entry within the configuration set.

   Query name

   Specifies the name of the query (cannot include the '.' symbol).

   You can use the same query name in a different config set; however, when applying more than one config set to a system, ensure the uniqueness of all query names. If the Qualifier is set to fixed entry, you cannot rename the query.

   Description

   Specifies the description for the configuration entry.

   Interval

   Specifies the interval (in seconds) between successive executions of the query and evaluations of the monitor (the value must be a multiple of 30 seconds).

   Query class

   Specifies the query class for the configuration entry.

   Query scope

   Specifies the scope to apply to the query.

   Query property

   Specifies the property of the Query class.

   Config set

   Specifies the name of the configuration set (do not use ',').

   Query depends

   Specifies that a query (Q2) depends on another query (Q1); such that Q2 is only created based on the result of Q1.

   Qualifiers

   Specifies additional information related to the configured queries and monitors.

   Possible values are as follows:

   • Entry cannot be deleted and query name cannot be changed (fixed entry)
   • Query is executed only once (at least one time successful)
   • Query is no longer executed if it was unsuccessful
   • Query is not shown in the query table
   • Results are shown per instance
   • Results show previous values instead of current ones
   • Results show increasing delta values
   • Results show decreasing delta values
   • Aggregate Monitors with the same object data and severity as AND relation

   Query total

   Specifies the property of the query class to apply as a total reference.

   Query scale

   Specifies the scale to apply for the property value (for example, *100, /1024 or /1024*100) This scale is used as default for the query scale in the query table. The value of the query property is multiplied or divided by the scale before storing the value in the result attributes.

   Query instance

   Specifies the properties of the query class to use for instance naming in the instance table.

   Condition

   Specifies the condition for comparing the result attribute value to the threshold and escalation threshold.

   Threshold

   Specifies the threshold that the result attribute value is compared against.

   Severity

   Specifies the severity to use for the SysEDGE object state model if the threshold condition is met.

   Obj. Class

   Specifies the class name to use for the SysEDGE object state model (do not use '*').

   Obj. Instance

   Specifies the instance name to use for the SysEDGE object state model (do not use '*').

   Obj. Attribute

   Specifies the attribute name to use for the SysEDGE object state model (do not use '*').

   Lag

   Specifies the number of times the threshold (escalation) condition must be met to cause a state change in the SysEDGE object state model.

   Escal. delta

   Specifies the difference to the threshold required to indicate an escalation condition.

   Escal. severity

   Specifies the severity to use for the SysEDGE object state model if the escalation condition is met.

   Result

   Specifies the result attribute of the query in the query table or instance table to monitor with SysEDGE monitors.

   The configuration settings are updated to reflect any changes.
