The following table defines the fields on the Create New Controller and Edit Controller Detail panels. All fields are required except the MAC Address field.
Field | Description |
---|---|
Controller ID | Enter a logical identifier for the edge controller
you are defining. After you create the edge controller, you cannot
modify this field. Note: The identifier must be 10 digits (0-9) or
fewer.
|
Controller Name | Enter a unique, textual description of the controller. |
MAC Address | The MAC address assigned to the edge controller you are defining. This field is used for reference purposes only, and is not required. |
IP Address | The IP address assigned to the edge controller you are defining. This field is not required. |
Alert Threshold | The level of detail that you want specified
in the Alert log file. The edge controller uses this value to determine
which level of events are forwarded to the WebSphere® Sensor Events; the
lower the alert level, the higher the number of events that are sent
to the log file. Choose from the following alert thresholds, from highest to lowest -- for example, selecting debug generates the greatest number of alerts.
Note: Setting the alert threshold to info or debug generates
a large amount of traffic, and might overload the network. Use these
two settings only if necessary.
|
Configuration Groups - Data Capture and Delivery only | Select the configuration group that you want to use for the controller. |
Agent Log Level | This field controls the log level for any of
the Data Capture and Delivery agents.
It defaults to "" which forces the system log
level to be used. It also has to be set to one of the following:
|
Agent Trace | This field controls the level of trace that agents perform by default. System trace must be enabled for this to take effect. |
Communication Protocol | Options are FILE or INTERNAL. |
System Log Level | Choose the system log level for Data Capture and Delivery:
|
System Trace | If you have the debug log level enabled, you can set this field to control the system trace level in Data Capture and Delivery. |
Available Locations | The list of available locations to associate with the edge controller you are defining. Select a location and click the right arrow to associate the location with this edge controller. |
Selected Locations | The list of locations currently associated with the edge controller. Click the left arrow to disassociate this location with the device. |
