MONITOR_CONTEXT="<context name>"        (Default: Files_of_<host name>)

You can set the name of the monitoring context in which the log file agent writes the results of the monitoring here. Regardless of whether or not you set this parameter, the MTE class of the monitoring context is always CcmsFileMonitoring. By specifying this MTE class, you can define a rule-based monitor that contains the subtrees for all monitored log files (more information: Creating and Changing Monitors).

In this way you can, for example, store monitored files for different components in different contexts, to further group the results. Like the PREFIX parameter (see below), this function allows you to differentiate between the different monitored files, but, unlike PREFIX, provides an additional hierarchical level to group the monitored files. Use this parameter only if you require this additional hierarchical level.

MTE_CLASS=<MTE class>                              (Default = CcmsFile<file name>)

You can use this parameter to set the MTE class of the monitoring object that the system creates for the monitored file. The associated monitoring attributes have the MTE class <MTE class of the monitoring object>.<attribute abbreviation>.

Note that the default value for the MTE class contains the name of the monitored file.

PREFIX=<character string>                      (Optional parameter)

You can use this parameter to define a prefix for the MTE name that is then displayed in the alert monitor. This allows you to differentiate between different files with different paths but the same name.

AUTOREACTION_CEN="<method name>"         (Default: no method)

You can use this to set the central auto-reaction method assigned to the nodes Lines found for Pattern and File Existence (if they exist).

You can use this to directly assign a central auto-reaction method to the above nodes using the log file template. This means that even if an agent has only just been registered or a log file that meets the FILENAME condition from a log file template has only just been created, the corresponding node is assigned the specified auto-reaction method from the time it is created.

This ensures quicker processing of the alert; since the assignment of the central auto-reaction method is otherwise performed by the program SAPMSSYT, which only runs once an hour, by default. In extreme cases, it is even possible that with traditional method assignment, the auto-reaction method would not even be executed for the first alerts of the relevant node.

AUTOREACTION_LOC="<method name>"    (Default: no method)

You can use this parameter to set the local auto-reaction method assigned to the nodes Lines found for Pattern and File Existence (if they exist). (For the traditional assignment of the method, see Assigning Methods to MTE Classes or Individual MTEs)

Like the parameter AUTOREACTION_CEN, the purpose of this parameter is to speed up the assignment of the auto-reaction method to the node that you have just created. This ensures quicker processing of the corresponding alerts or the execution of the auto-reaction method.

ANALYZEMETHOD="<method name>"       (Default: no method)

You can set the analysis method assigned to the alert here.
