HP XP Performance Advisor Software - Manual (Page 124)

The output of the .bat file provided will be present in the absolute path location (example:
C:\Users\Administrator folder or system 32 folder), as it is platform dependant. Therefore, ensure
that you provide the absolute path while creating the .bat file.
Alternatively, copy the script location from an existing record and apply it across multiple other
records. For more information, see
“Applying a template” (page 125) .
Sample script file
The following is an example of a script file: C:/Temp/a.xml. The format of the XML file should
be as follows:
<?xml version= 1.0 encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!-- A sample XML file describes the script to be executed -->
<Service>
<Method>Run Script</Method>
<!-- Enter the full path name of your script file -->
<Full-Script-Path>C:\Temp\a.bat</Full-Script-Path>
</Service>

Enabling or disabling alarms
By default, HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor monitors only those components for which alarms
are enabled and sends appropriate notifications to intended recipients when required. Though
threshold and dispatch settings are configured on components, they are not monitored until you
enable alarms on those components. You must manually activate or enable an alarm on a component
for HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor to start monitoring the selected component and send
notifications. To enable alarms on components:
1.
Click PA and DB Settings+Configure Alarms in the left pane.
2. In the Alarms table, select the component records for which you want to specify the threshold
level.
You can also filter component records in the Alarms table.
•
To enable alarms on components, select Enabled from the list under the Enabled column.
By default, the current state for a newly added component record appears as Disabled
in the Alarms table.
Once the alarm record is enabled, it implies that the selected component will be monitored
by HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor.
•
To disable alarms on components, select Disabled from the list under the Enabled column.
Once the alarm record is disabled, it implies that the selected component will not be
monitored by HP XP P9000 Performance Advisor.
