To enable monitoring of any newly added disk, follow these steps:
1.Drag and drop the cdm probe from the robot into the archive. When prompted, choose Configuration Only and rename the probe. Example name "_cdm_cfg"
2. Locate the _cdm_cfg file in the archive, right click and select "Edit"
3. Right click the cdm.cfg under the "Files" tab - Select "Edit File". The cdm.cfx will now pop up in an editor.
3. Modify the cdm.cfx for the cdm probe on a robot where it is deployed so that the fixed_default
section contains your required settings for the highlighted values shown in the following example. If you wish to monitor the size of nfs disks, set nfs_space_check to yes, like below.
<disk>
<fixed_default>
active = yes
qos_disk_usage = yes
qos_disk_usage_perc = yes
percent = yes
qos_inode_usage = no
qos_inode_usage_perc = no
inode_percent = yes
nfs_space_check = yes
delta_calculate_all = yes
delta_type = both
qos_disk_delta = no
<error>
active = yes
threshold = 10
message = DiskError
</error>
<warning>
active = yes
threshold = 20
message = DiskWarning
</warning>
<inode_error>
active = no
threshold = 10
message = InodeError
</inode_error>
<inode_warning>
active = no
threshold = 20
message = InodeWarning
</inode_warning>
<missing>
active = yes
message = DiskMissing
</missing>
<delta_error>
active = no
threshold = 10
message = DeltaError
</delta_error>
<delta_warning>
active = no
threshold = 8
message = DeltaWarning
</delta_warning>
</fixed_default>
</disk>
4. If you wish to reconfigure existing monitoring to overwrite the previous disk configuration with the fixed_default properties - add the following before <fixed_default>. You will lose any previous data in the <fixed> settings in the cdm.cfg.
<fixed>clear
</fixed>
Note: in CDM 6.71 and higher you should also add/set the following in the fixed_default section:
Monitor_Newly_Discovered_Disk_OnTheFly = yes
If this is set to "no" in the .cfx then the existing diskks won't be rediscovered with the new defaults.
5. You can then deploy this configuration to target servers either as a standalone configuration or as part of a super-package.
