	 name = "sensorName"
	 period = period
	 restrict = "cesNodes"

Only users with ProtocolAdministrator, SystemAdministrator, SecurityAdministrator, and Administrator roles can use this DMP to configure SMB sensor.

After you complete the steps in the DMP, refresh the configuration by issuing the following command: 
/usr/lpp/mmfs/bin/mmhealth node show SMB --refresh -N cesNodes

Issue the mmperfmon config show command to verify whether the SMB sensor is configured properly.
