NBSD_MONITOR_POLICY_NAME option for primary server

The NBSD_MONITOR_POLICY_NAME option specifies the policies to monitor the CPU, memory, and deadlock thresholds. The process launched after the policy execution is automatically added for monitoring with default threshold values.

This parameter is only applicable for primary server. The value for this parameter is a comma separated list of polices to monitor. NBSD_MONITOR_POLICY_NAME=Policy1, Policy2, Policy3.

Note:

Do not enclose the value in quotation marks.

The default CPU threshold is 90 percent and default memory threshold are 60%.

To change default threshold values refer NBSD_AUTOMONITOR_CPU_THRESHOLD and NBSD_AUTOMONITOR_MEMORY_THRESHOLD configuration parameters.

Note:

Only the clients mentioned in the policy are considered for monitoring and the processes that are launched on those policy clients after the policy execution are monitored.

NBSD_CAPTURE_WITHOUT_THRESHOLD parameter is ignored when NBSD_MONITOR_POLICY_NAME is set.
