Preloading Monitoring Studio

Home  Previous  Next

For optimal operation of Monitoring Studio, it is strongly recommended that you configure the PATROL Agent to pre-load the KM. This means that the PATROL Agent will automatically load Monitoring Studio upon startup and will not wait for a console requesting the KM.

This can be done by setting the /AgentSetup/preloadedKMs configuration variable of each PATROL Agent where Monitoring Studio has been installed.

To set a configuration variable, you need to use:

PATROL Configuration Manager (PCM)
WPCONFIG.EXE (Windows)
xpconfig (UNIX/Linux).

For more information about these tools, please refer to the BMC Software PATROL documentation.

The /AgentSetup/preloadedKMs is a comma-separated list of KM files or KM lists that have to be loaded by the agent upon startup. Basically, it looks like the following:

EVENT_MANAGEMENT.kml,Windows_PERFMON_WIZARD.kml,Windows_BASE.kml,AS_EVENTSPRING.kml

Add SW_SENTRY8.kml to this list as shown below and then apply the configuration:

EVENT_MANAGEMENT.kml,Windows_PERFMON_WIZARD.kml,Windows_BASE.kml,AS_EVENTSPRING.kml,SW_SENTRY8.kml
