Editing parameters

Objective

To edit or define one or more lists of parameters.

Background information

For each resource model, you can define one or more lists of parameters. To define parameters, you must select the most appropriate type of list and then enter the required information. The lists of numbers or strings you specify for each parameter can represent the instances you want to monitor or a limit you do not want your resource to exceed. The default values that you define here can be modified later when this resource model is included in a profile on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring server.

Before you begin

None

When you finish

Check the Tasks view to verify that you do not have any errors in your resource model. If the Tasks view displays errors, correct the errors before running the resource model. The Tasks view displays in the bottom pane of the IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder.

Procedure

  1. Open the resource model.
  2. Select the Parameters page.
  3. Select the parameter to edit or click Add Parameter to add a new parameter.

    Additional Information: Complete the following parameter options:

    Internal Name
    The internal name used by the VisitTree function. This name must be alphanumeric, start with an alphabetic character, and contain no blank spaces.
    Descriptive Name
    The name that is used in the IBM Tivoli Monitoring displays.
    Description
    The descriptive text that is displayed on the IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows and provides information for the operator running the resource model.
    List type and values
    When you specify the parameters, you can choose one among the following kinds of lists:
    Boolean List
    Boolean lists enable you to specify a list of values, and then to decide which to consider (select them as TRUE) and which to ignore (select them as FALSE) during monitoring.
    Choice List
    Choice lists are lists of mutually exclusive values. These lists can contain several values, but the IBM Tivoli Monitoring operator can select and use only one of them at a time.
    Numeric List
    Numeric lists are lists of numeric values, such as event IDs. When you use a numeric list in IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder, the output you get in IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows is a simple list.
    String List
    String lists are lists of string values, such as application names. When you use a string list in IBM Tivoli Monitoring Resource Model Builder, the output you get in IBM Tivoli Monitoring windows is a simple list.
