Modifying Agent Configurations


To modify agent configurations — that is, to modify the configuration option values of an agent — perform the following steps:

Step 1

Select an agent from the Agent tree. The Configuration tree then lists all configurations of that Agent.

Step 2

Select a configuration from the Configuration tree. The Configuration Options table then lists all options, and their current values, for that configuration.

Step 3

In the Configuration Options table, click the Commit check box of an option whose value you want to modify (see below).
 

Note

An option with a gray Commit check box (such as Display Time) is a dependent option. It can be selected for modification only if the independent option (with a white Commit check box) immediately preceding it has been selected.

 
Consecutively listed dependent options all are dependent on the independent option immediately preceding them.
 

 
This causes the following to occur:

  • Check mark is inserted in the Commit check box for that option.
  • Row for that option is highlighted.
  • Value field for that option is enabled.
  • Configuration tree displays a green check mark for the group and configuration in which the option resides. This allows you to keep track of all your selections.

Step 4

In the Value field, enter a modified value for the option (that is, a different value than Actual value) either by:

  • Typing a value (in a text field).
  • Selecting a value (from a drop-down list).
  • Loading a value by selecting either of the following from the Edit menu.
    • Select Load Value / Actual to enter the Actual value in the Value field.
    • Select Load Value / Default to enter the default value in the Value field.

Step 5

Press the Enter key, or click the mouse anywhere outside that Value field, to validate the modified value.
If the modified value is valid, it is accepted and displayed in the Value field.

Step 6

If the modified value is invalid, a warning message displays.
Exit the warning message and either:

  • Enter another value in that Value field and press the Enter key (or click the mouse anywhere outside that Value field).
  • Cancel the modification either by:
    • Clicking on the Commit check box
    • Pressing the Esc key.
      This removes the check mark from the Commit check box.

Step 7

Select and modify other values, as desired.

Undoing / Redoing Table Actions

You can undo multiple actions, and redo multiple undone actions, performed in the Configuration Options table.

  • To undo an action, either select Undo from the I-Management Console Edit menu or press Ctrl+Z.
  • To redo an undone action, either select Undo from the I-Management Console Edit menu or press Ctrl+Y.
