4.1.6 Procedure for changing agent monitoring items

You can use an inventory settings file (jdng_inventory.conf) to change the items that are subject to regular monitoring on computers with the agent software installed.

To change the monitored items for agents:

  1. Using a text editor, create an inventory settings file (jdng_inventory.conf) with the content shown in the table below, and place it in the %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\HITACHI\jp1itdma\conf folder.

    Section

    Key name

    Description

    Setting values

    Default setting

    SystemInventory

    DHCPLeaseExpires

    You can specify whether to monitor for changes in the DHCP lease expiry time.

    If this section or key is omitted or the specified value is invalid, the system operates as if 0 were specified.

    • 0: Do not monitor

    • 1: Monitor

    0

    DHCPLeaseObtained

    You can specify whether to monitor for changes in the time of obtaining the DHCP lease.

    If this section or key is omitted or the specified value is invalid, the system operates as if 0 were specified.

    • 0: Do not monitor

    • 1: Monitor

    0

The changes to the monitored items for agents take effect.

The following is an example of an inventory settings file that specifies the expiration and acquisition dates and times of DHCP leases as items to be monitored. The monitoring interval is the value specified in Monitoring Interval (Others) (min) in the Timing of communication with the higher system area on the Basic Settings page during agent setup.

[SystemInventory]
DHCPLeaseExpires=1
DHCPLeaseObtained=1

The content of the inventory settings file automatically takes effect when device information is next acquired from the agent.
