Issue/Introduction

How can I change ICMP timeout and retry settings in CAPM?

Environment

CAPM 3.x

Resolution

You will need to use a REST client and set it with the following parameters:

URL:     http://<DA_HOST>:8581/rest/discoverydefaultconfig/{itemID}

Method:  PUT

Body: 

 

<DiscoveryDefaultConfig version="1.0.0">

  <IcmpTimeout>3500</IcmpTimeout>

  <IcmpTryCount>4</IcmpTryCount>

 <IcmpPacketSize>32</IcmpPacketSize>

</DiscoveryDefaultConfig>

Then send this to the Data Aggregator (<DA_HOST>).

After performing this action with a REST interface the ICMP parameters will be changed
