The HHM default behavior can modified by adjusting the HHM configuration file residing on the consolidated FSE system or FSE server.

Windows specific default behavior

By default, HHM monitors the FSE system directories on HHM server and its clients, but triggers no action, regardless of the threshold crossing events.

By default, the file systems with FSE databases and system files that are monitored are:

%InstallPath%\var

%InstallPath%\var\part

%InstallPath%\log

The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

The HHM default behavior can be modified by adjusting the HHM configuration file residing on the consolidated FSE system or FSE server.

HHM configuration file

The HHM configuration file resides in the directory /var/opt/fse/cfg/hhm (on Linux systems) or in the directory %InstallPath%\var\cfg\hmm (on Windows systems) on the HHM server.

The value of %InstallPath% depends on the choice made in the FSE installation process. It defaults to C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\FSE.

The HHM server must be installed on the FSE server. HHM clients use the configuration file on the HHM server. The HHM configuration file contains the following sections:

general HHM settings

e-mail settings

triggered actions definitions

monitored items definitions

General HHM settings

The general HHM section is marked by the [system] string in the configuration file.

[system]

#this section contains the global entries

#Generation number of this file. Used internally and maintained by the system.

#Entry is reserved for future use.

CfgGeneration: 0

#monitor cycle time in seconds. MonitorInterval: 30

#Number of retries before the FailureAction is invoked Default 2

#Entry is reserved for future use.

NumberOfRetries: 2

#Action to be taken on Failure.An e-mail will be sent in this case anyhow.

#Entry is reserved for future use.

ActionOnFailure: NONE

The only key configurable in the general HHM section of the configuration file is the MonitorInterval key, which defines the interval between consecutive verifications of thresholds by HHM in seconds.
