The AppManager for Microsoft Windows BestPractices Knowledge Script Group (KSG) enables a “best practices” usage for monitoring your NT environment. You can use this KSG with AppManager monitoring policies. A monitoring policy enables you to efficiently and consistently monitor all the resources in your environment using a set of pre-configured Knowledge Scripts. For more information, see “About Policy-Based Monitoring” in the AppManager Help.
You can find the BestPractices KSG in the NT tab of the Knowledge Script pane in the Control Console.
All the scripts in the KSG have their parameters set to recommended values. To run all of the recommended scripts in the KSG at one time, click the NT tab, and then run the KSG on an AppManager resource.
The KSG is a subset of a module of a module’s Knowledge Scripts. The script that belongs to a KSG is a differently copy of the original script you access from the NT tab. If you modify a script that belongs to a KSG, the parameter settings of the original script in the NT tab are not affected.
In few cases, default script parameter settings are different when the script is deployed as part of a KSG, and when it is deployed alone. The default settings of a script within a group depend on its monitoring purpose within the larger group, and on the intended monitoring scope of that group.
If you modify or remove a script associated with the NT KSG and want to restore it to its original form, you can reinstall the AppManager for Microsoft Windows module on the repository computer or check in the appropriate script from the AppManager\qdb\kp\WinOS directory.
