| Server | Configuration File |
| NetWare | sys:\system\ndsimonhealth.ini |
| Windows NT and Windows 2000 | install directory\novell\NDS\ndsimon.ini |
| Linux, Solaris, AIX, and HP-UX | /etc/ndsimonhealth.conf |
| 8.8 Linux | /etc/opt/novell/eDirectory/conf/ndsimonhealth.conf |
To disable an option, remove the pound sign (#) from in front of the option and replace any levels listed after the colon (:) with OFF. To set reporting levels of these options, remove the # character from in front of the option and add a reporting level after the colon. Valid levels are WARN, MARGINAL, and SUSPECT. For these options, you can input only one reporting level.
These options can be enabled and disabled or have their reporting level set, as well as the ranges for those reporting levels.
To set the reporting level for any of these options, use the option name followed by -active: and the reporting levels you want. For example, to set time_delta active, add the following line to the configuration file:
time_delta-active: WARN
To set time_delta inactive, add the following line to the configuration file:
time_delta-active: OFF
When entering ranges, the specified range is the range that this reporting level should not be displayed for.
See the time_delta example below for an example of how to set an option to be active for all three reporting levels and how to set the ranges. In this example, anything not in the range -2 to 2 is at least marginal, anything not in the range -5 to 5 is at least suspect, and anything not in the range -10 to 10 is a warning.
time_delta-active: WARN | SUSPECT | MARGINAL
time_delta-Min_Warn: -10
time_delta-Min_Suspect: -5
time_delta-Min_Marginal: -2
time_delta-Max_Marginal: 2
time_delta-Max_Suspect: 5
time_delta-Max_Warn: 10
For help on any of these options, enter the following URL in iMonitor:
http://XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:PORT/nds/help?hbase=/nds/health/OPTION_NAME
XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:PORT is the IP address and port where iMonitor can be reached, and OPTION_NAME is the name of the option you want help on (for example, time_delta).
To view the currently set levels and ranges, use your browser to go to the health page that contains the option you are interested in, then add the following to the end of the URL line in the browser:
&op=setup
These options set the reporting level if the server version falls within the specified range.
The main file is /usr/share/ndsimon/ndsimonhealth.conf and some sample contents are shown below.
