Before you change Global Scan thresholds, refer to the table below for a description of each field that you can control and the associated setting name that is used later in this article.
| Performance Field | Description | DataStore Setting Name | uptime.conf Setting Name |
|---|---|---|---|
| TOT | The overall CPU % busy. | gs_cpu_warn gs_cpu_crit | globalscan.cpu.warn globalscan.cpu.crit |
| % Used | The capacity of the file system that is most full on the element. | gs_diskfull_warn gs_diskfull_crit | globalscan.diskfull.warn globalscan.diskfull.crit |
| % Busy | The work time of the busiest spindle on the element. | gs_diskbusy_warn gs_diskbusy_crit | globalscan.diskbusy.warn globalscan.diskbusy.crit |
| Swap Used | Total swap space used. | gs_swap_warn gs_swap_crit | globalscan.swap.warn globalscan.swap.crit |
Each field has two setting names: one to control the warning (yellow) threshold and another to set the critical (red) threshold. You can modify one or both settings. The setting to update for warning thresholds includes the word "warn" in the setting and the critical threshold setting includes the word "crit" in the setting name.
Changing thresholds for all elements
To change the current thresholds for all elements within your UIM installation, complete the following steps:
- Connect to your up.time DataStore using an ODBC or database tool. Assuming that you have installed Uptime Infrastructure Monitor in the default location, you can access the DataStore at the command line using the following commands:
Code Block language sql «change to the Uptime installation directory» cd mysql cd bin ./mysql -u uptime --password=uptime -P 3308 --protocol=TCP uptime
- After you login to the UIM DataStore, run a command to update the threshold that you want to use with all elements. The command format and an example are detailed below. Replace the «field» text in the example below with a value from the DataStore setting name column in the table above. Replace the «new value» text in the example below with your new threshold setting (decimal values are not permitted for thresholds).
Info All mysql commands assume that you are using a MySQL DataStore. The format of the commands may differ slightly for Oracle or SQL Server databases.
Code Block language sql mysql» update entity set «field»=«new value»; Example mysql» update entity set gs_swap_warn=50 mysql» update entity set gs_swap_crit=75
- Run the command above for each threshold value that you want to change. When you are finished, use the
exit;command to return to the command line. - Refresh your Global Scan view to see the new settings.

Changing the default values for new elements
Configure To configure different default GlobalScan Global Scan threshold settings for all new elements that you add to Uptime Infrastructure Monitor by completing the following stepsUIM
- On your monitoring station system, open the uptime.conf file in a text editor.

- Locate the following lines in the file:
