Global Settings

This section explains the global settings that can be made in Applications Manager. To access Global Settings, click the Admin tab and click Global Settings. On performing any of the configurations, click Update Global Settings button provided at the bottom of the page.

General

Show Intro Tab

When you login to the Web Client, you see an Intro page which helps novice users to understand the terms used in the product and to get started. If you want the Introduction page to be displayed, select this option.

Do not hide Advanced configuration in Alert Configuration

By selecting this option, you can always have all the advanced options expanded by default in the "Configure Alerts" and "New Threshold" screens.

By default, while configuring actions at attribute level, only the 'Critical Severity' actions can be associated with the Health of the attribute. Associations of Warning and Clear severity actions are hidden.

Likewise, by default, while creating new Thresholds, only the critical threshold is set. Warning and clear thresholds are hidden.

This is to aid customers who require only the critical configurations and they may not be interested in fine grained configuration of thresholds & alerts.

Add Host as a Monitor when you associate a service running in it to the monitor group

By default, when you associate a Monitor (service or server running in particular host) with a Monitor Group, the host (in which the Monitor runs) is also associated with the Monitor Group. If you do not require the host to be associated with the Monitor Group, deselect this option.

For example, if you are add and associate a monitor (say WebSphere) with a Monitor Group, Applications Manager will add and associate the host (say Windows) also in which the WebSphere runs with that Monitor Group.

Note: This host will be monitored only if you have provided the required configuration information.

Add Host also when you add a new service

While adding a service as Monitor, by selecting this option, the host on which the service runs will also be added.

Restart the product in case of serious server error

By selecting this option, you can restart Applications Manager automatically, incase any serious server error like out of memory error occurs.

Note: This host will be monitored only if you have provided the required configuration information.

Send EMail incase of Monitor error

By selecting this option, you can send EMails in case of any fatal monitor error like data collection not happening..

Show inline feedback form

By selecting this option, you allow the inline feedback form in all pages.

Logging

By default, the debug prints are added to log files and are placed under <Applications Manager Home>/logs directory. You can configure the logging mechanism using the following Logging Settings.

• Stop logging: If this option is selected, debug prints are not added to the log files.

• Print Fatal errors only: If this option is selected, the debug prints are added to the log files only when there are fatal or critical errors in the functioning of Applications Manager.

• Print Warning errors only: If this option is selected, only the warning level debug prints are added to the log files.

• Print all logs: This is the default setting. All debug prints are added to the logs generated by Applications Manager.

Reports

Show Plot shape in graph: By selecting this option, you can see the dots / blobs in the line graphs.

Moving Average: A simple moving average is the unweighted mean of the previous n data points. For example, a 10-day simple moving average of attribute value like CPU utilization is the mean of the previous 10 days' CPU Utilization value. By selecting this option, you can add moving average graph in the 7, 30 graphs of the various monitors.

Enterprise Edition Settings

Here, you can convert the standalone professional server to Managed Server, by giving the Admin Server Host name and SSL port. Note: This option is available only if you have installed the full build and not for upgrades through PPM.
