Changing Properties and Maintaining Methods

Use

You can change the properties (such as threshold values) and methods assigned to monitoring objects in two ways:

You can display or change the properties and methods of a monitoring tree element (MTE) directly in the Alert Monitor. This is, of course, only possible for properties and methods that are currently active in the Alert Monitor.

Note

For this option, although you select only one MTE in the Alert Monitor, by default you change the properties of the entire attribute group or MTE class.

You can also display or change the properties and methods of MTEs in the Customizing transaction of the Alert Monitor, RZ21. This is possible both for currently active and inactive properties and methods. You can also display or change the properties of any monitoring properties variant.

For more information about the properties of MTEs, see:

General Properties of Monitoring Tree Elements

Properties of Log Attributes

Properties of Performance Attributes

Properties of Status Attributes
