Step 6 Complete the condition definition:
6.A Type a name for the condition. This name will be used as an
instance name for icons created in the PATROL Console, and it
will be used to refer to this condition if you need to perform
future updates.
6.B You can change the object name to monitor a different object, or
you can optionally use wildcard characters (? or *) to monitor
multiple MBeans for the same condition.
6.C If you wish to apply this definition to other servers and PATROL
Agents, set “Scope of definition” to “servers managed by this
PATROL agent”. (See below.)
6.D Complete the remaining fields, which vary depending on the type
of element you selected. Click the
Help button at the bottom of
the dialog for information about the fields on this dialog.
Step 7 Click OK.
Defining conditions that apply to multiple servers
When you define a condition, you can specify that it apply to all servers
managed by the PATROL Agent by setting the Scope of Definition. If
you do so, you can also use the PATROL Configuration Manager to copy
the key “/JMX/ConditionDef/ALL-SERVERS” to other PATROL agents.
If you copy a condition definition to all servers across all agents,
monitoring will occur only for servers on which the target MBean exists.
You can limit instance creation to applicable servers by setting the
“Create PATROL object” field in the condition definition to a value other
than “Always”.
