You can use the Threshold Editor to pass certain parameters to
agents. You can specify commands or a script of commands to run automatically when an event is
triggered.
About this task
This tutorial shows you how to use the Execute Command field to pass
a parameter to your IBM® Cloud Application Performance Management
agent.
Procedure
-
Open the Threshold Manager by selecting
.
-
Select Linux OS from the Data Source Type
field.
The thresholds that were defined for the Linux OS agent are displayed in the table.
-
Click
New to open the Threshold Editor for defining the
threshold.
-
Define the threshold and conditions by specifying values for the various parameters, such as
Name, Severity, and
Conditions.
-
Select KLZ Disk from the Data set field.
-
Enter the following command in the Execute Command field:
/scripts/clean_logs.sh &{KLZ_Disk.Disk_Name}
You must replace the
space in the
KLZ Disk data set name with an underscore.
Note: The data set name
referenced in the Execute Command field must be the same data set that is
selected in step 5.
The KLZ_Disk.Disk_Name is passed
into the command script.
Results
Your script or command is set up to automatically run
for your defined threshold. You must ensure the script or programs executed by the command are
installed on the agent system since Cloud
APM
does not provide a mechanism to distribute scripts or programs.The command or script is run on the
system of the monitoring agent that is monitoring the threshold condition. The user who starts the
monitoring agent must have permission to execute the script or command.
