Considerations for Modifying the Monitor Configuration File Settings

The default configuration settings for each monitor have been carefully selected to provide efficient monitoring for most systems. However, it may be necessary to modify these settings in specific situations. Here are some considerations for altering the configuration settings.

NOTE	Settings in the Global.cfg configuration file apply to all monitors, so you should avoid
	changing these settings. If you need to change the parameters for a monitor, do so using the
	monitor-specific configuration file.
