OpenEdge Management supplies default values for the log file monitor and the file monitor. You can keep the default values established by OpenEdge Management, or you can change the values. Whatever default values exist are automatically used when you create a log file monitor or file monitor.

If you choose not to change the default values, you still have the option of altering the values when you create a new monitor. You simply remove the default values and replace them with values you choose.

Before you begin to create a log file monitor or a file monitor, review the default settings. Performing this review can:

  • Help standardize resource rule definitions according to your company's needs
  • Minimize the duplication of effort involved in unnecessarily creating new or editing existing file resource monitors
  • Produce useful resource monitoring data as quickly as possible

To display the log file monitor and file monitor default values:

  1. Select Options > Resource Monitor Defaults in the OpenEdge Management console menu.
    The OpenEdge Management Resource Monitoring Defaults page appears.
  2. Click File Resource Defaults. The File Resource Defaults page appears.

    If the default values are still not what you want, you can change the values of the individual log file or file monitor when you create a new resource monitor. Changing default values does not affect any resource monitor already created.

    You can revert back to the original OpenEdge Management-supplied default values at any time by selecting Restore Defaults.

  3. Change the default values as necessary, and click Submit.
