Issue/Introduction:
Below is a basic guide to create cdm templates, using the distsrv package distribution, that will set default settings for disks. This includes local disks and NFS disks.
Environment:
CDM: 5.x
Unified Infrastructure Management (UIM): 8.x
distsrv 5.x
Resolution:
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>
5. You can then deploy this configuration to target servers either as a standalone configuration or as part of a super-package.
