Table 13-4. attribute configure Command Options (Continued)

Option Description

--dtbelow {true | false}

Marks or unmarks violations below the dynamic threshold

of the attribute as KPI violations.

--thresholds {none | "threshold-def[;threshold-

def]..."}

List of threshold definitions for the attribute package. Type

none instead of a threshold definition to remove all existing

thresholds. For more information, see “Threshold

Definitions,” on page 164.

The following attribute configure command checks the attribute named active_average under the group

named mem for collection inside attribute packages named Default Attributes and Reduced package. If either

attribute package does not already exist, the command creates it. The command also creates two thresholds

and marks HT from level critical and DT above and DT below as KPI violations.

dbcli.sh attribute configure "VMWARE:VirtualMachine" "mem|active_average" --packages "Default

Attributes,Reduced package" --check true --ht true --htcriticality critical --dtabove true --

dtbelow true --thresholds "critical,>=,90,2,3;immediate,=,70,3,3"

Configure a Super Metric

You can use the dbcli supermetric configure command to configure properties of a super metric in a super

metric package.

The supermetric configure command provides similar functionality to the super metric editor in the Custom

user interface. For more information, see “Add a Super Metric,” on page 49.

The supermetric configure command has the following syntax.

supermetric configure

supermetric-name

--packages {all | "

package-name

]..."} --check

{true | false} --ht {true | false} --htcriticality

level-name

--dtabove {true | false} --dtbelow

{true | false} --thresholds {none | "

threshold-def

[;

threshold-def

]..."}

supermetric-name is the name of the super metric to configure.

The supermetric configure command has certain options. All of the options are required.

Table 13-5. supermetric configure Command Options

Option Description

--packages {all | "package-name[,package-name]..."} List of super metric packages to which to apply the operation.

To apply the operation to all super metric packages, type

all instead of individual super metric package names.

--check {true | false}

Checks or unchecks the super metric for collection in the

specified packages.

--ht {true | false}

Marks or unmarks hard threshold violations of the super

metric as KPI violations.

--htcriticality level-name Sets the criticality level for hard threshold violations of the

super metric to generate KPI violations.

--dtabove {true | false}

Marks or unmarks violations above the dynamic threshold

of the super metric as KPI violations.
