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
- Open the resource model.
- Select the Parameters page.
- 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.
