Setting configuration parameters

You can configure the behavior of the IBM® Tivoli® Utilization sensor by setting the configuration parameters.

The following table lists the configuration parameters of the IBM Tivoli Utilization sensor.
Table 1. Configuration parameters
Parameter name Description
operatingMode The mode of operation for the sensor. The following values are valid:
ONCE
Specifies that the collection scripts run once for the interval and numDays, or maxFileSize, specified, whichever comes first. When the collection scripts have finished, the data is collected by the sensor the next time that it runs. The data collected is parsed and stored on the Agile Service Manager database. All output files on the target machine are cleaned up.
RESTART
Specifies that when the collection scripts finish as normal, the collection scripts are started again.
CLEANUP
Specifies that any collection currently running on the system is immediately stopped and cleaned up. Once a cleanup operation is called, collection can only be restarted on this machine by setting the operatingMode value to RESTART.
collectionMode The mode of collection for the sensor. The following values are valid:
ALWAYS
Specifies that data is collected each time the sensor is run on the target system, regardless of whether the collection scripts have completed or not.
END
Specifies that data is collected when the sensor is run on the target system, only if the collection scripts have completed. Except in situations where operatingMode is set to CLEANUP, any discovery performed before the collection scripts have completed results in no data collection.
interval The collection interval, in minutes, for collection scripts running on the target. Valid values are between 3 minutes and 60 minutes.
numDays The number of days that the collection scripts run on the target. Valid values are between 1 day and 35 days.
maxFileSize The maximum size, in MB, for the output files created by the collection scripts. Valid values are between 1 MB and 100 MB.
