8.6 ConfigMachineDown

Use this Knowledge Script to set parameter values in the local repository of the computer on which you run it. The values are used by the MachineDownLR Knowledge Script when it runs on that computer. Using this pair of scripts, you can set up individual computers in a group so that when MachineDownLR runs on the group, it can run with different parameter values on each computer. This is particularly useful for enforcing monitoring policies.

Full path to file with a list of computers

Specify the path and filename of a text file containing a list of computers for this computer to monitor when MachineDownLR runs on it. The file must be a text file with the name of each computer on a separate line, with no commas or spaces.

Event severity when parameter values set successfully

Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which this script successfully sets parameter values in the local repository. The default is 25 (blue event indicator).
