How to Set It |

|
Knowledge Script categories |
Specify the script categories for which the selected managed client will serve as a standby. Whenever a job from one of these categories cannot run because the agent that is supposed to run it cannot be reached, the job defaults to the standby. Separate the names of multiple script groups with commas and no spaces. The category name is shown on the script view tab for that category. For example, for Microsoft IIS, the category name is “IIS.” An asterisk (*) indicates all categories. The default is *. |
|
Hostname for master managed client |
Designate the master managed client for the script category specified in the previous parameter by supplying its hostname. |
|
Raise event if job succeeds? |
Set to y to raise an event if the job succeeds in designating a master managed client to serve as a standby for the specified script categories. The default is n. |
|
Event severity when job succeeds |
Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of the event. The default is 25 (blue event indicator). |
