How to Set It

Event?

Set to y to raise an event if auto-start fails, succeeds, or is disabled. The default is y.

Collect data?

Set to y to collect data for charts and reports. If enabled, data collection returns:

Event severity when restart succeeds

Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the service was down and AppManager successfully restarted it. The default is 25 (blue event indicator).

Event severity when restart is set to n

Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the service is down and the Auto-start service? parameter has been disabled. The default is 18 (yellow event indicator).

Severity for an unexpected KS error

Set the event severity level, from 1 to 40, to indicate the importance of an event in which the DFSServiceDown job fails unexpectedly. The default is 35 (magenta event indicator).
