Default: A PATROL event and an annotation on the parameter.
|
automaticReinitialization
|
If set to 1, triggers a re-initialization of the KM, as if the “Reinitialize KM” KM Command had been invoked. The discovery checks this variable every hour (by default) and deletes it before performing the re-initialization.
|
collectTimeout
|
Maximum time in seconds the collectors wait for the previous collection to complete. When this timeout is reached, it means the previous collection did not complete in a timely fashion. An error message is displayed in the System Output Window and the next collection is canceled.
Default: Not set (assumed 300 seconds)
|

Default: Not set
|

Example: “resetThresholds;1” will display the remove thresholds option selected by default in the Reinitialize KM wizard.
|
dirCommand
|
OS Command used to list the files in a directory. This command is used to find the installed connectors in the "hdfPath" directory.
Default:
•On Windows: dir /A:-D /B /O:-D /T:W /S %{FOLDERPATH} •On UNIX/Linux: ls -atpR1 %{FOLDERPATH} |
disableLocalhost
|
When set to 1, disables the default monitoring of the local host by the KM. To remove the monitoring of the local host, all of the /SENTRY/HARDWARE/localhost/… configuration variables need to be removed and the disableLocalhost variable must be set to 1 to prevent Hardware Sentry KM for PATROL from restoring the variables for the monitoring of the local host.
Default: Not set.
|
disableDebugSNMPWalk
|
When set to 1, prevents the KM from performing an SNMP dump of the monitored systems in debug mode.
Default: Not set.

Default: Not set
|
disablePslExecuteBugWorkaround
|
When set to ‘1’, disables the workaround in the KM for a bug in the PslExecute() PSL function.
If the KM detects that the version of the PATROL Agent is affected by the PslExecute() bug, it uses an alternate technique to create asynchronous threads with the event_trigger() function and the RemPsl standard event. The disablePslExecuteBugWorkaround variable disables this workaround.
Default: Not set.
|
errorCountAutoResetTimeout
|
Time in seconds after which the alerts on the ErrorCount parameters (MS_HW_PHYSICALDISK, MS_HW_LOGICALDISK, MS_HW_MEMORY, MS_HW_ROBOTICS, MS_HW_TAPEDRIVE) are automatically acknowledged and reset.

Where:
•parameterName is DeviceNotReadyErrorCount, MediaErrorCount, NoDeviceErrorCount, HardErrorCount, IllegalRequestErrorCount, RecoverableErrorCount or TransportErrorCount •alarm1ThresholdValue is the threshold for the ALARM1 range •alarm1Type is the type of the alert for ALARM1 (VOID, OK, WARN or ALARM) •alarm1NTimes is the number of times the parameter must stay in the ALARM1 range before triggering an alert (default: 1) •alarm2ThresholdValue is the threshold for the ALARM2 range •alarm2Type is the type of the alert for ALARM2 (VOID, OK, WARN or ALARM) •alarm2NTimes is the number of times the parameter must stay in the ALARM2 range before triggering an alert (default: 1) Example:
MediaErrorCount;1;ALARM;1 -> Trigger an alarm if one or more media error is encountered
RecoverableErrorCount;1;WARN;2;2;ALARM;1 -> Trigger a warning if 1 recoverable error is encountered twice in a row, alarm after 2
|
forceSnmpSerialization
|

Default: Not set.
|
globalDiscoveryTimeout
|
Maximum time in seconds the main discovery process waits for the previous discovery to complete. When this timeout is reached, it means the previous discovery did not complete in a timely fashion. An error message is displayed in the System Output Window and the next discovery is canceled.
