Attribute group testing - preferences
Set preferences before you test an attribute group.
Before you start testing an attribute group, you can optionally set some preferences that determine how attributes are treated during testing.
Procedure
- Select Window > Preferences from the Agent Builder menu bar. The Preferences window opens.
- Select IBM Tivoli Monitoring Agent Builder.
The preferences that are associated with testing attribute groups are shown:
- Show data types changed dialog when testing
- When selected, Agent Builder suggests changes to the data type of an attribute. Agent Builder suggests changes when the data type of an attribute does not match the data that is returned by a test for that attribute. For example, if the string length defined for an attribute is too short to hold a value that is returned by a test. In this example, Agent builder suggests redefining the attribute to have a longer string length. When this option is cleared, Agent Builder does not check or suggest data types during testing. This option is selected by default.
- Maximum script or log attributes created
- The value that is entered in this field determines the maximum number of attributes that Agent Builder parses during the initial test of a log file or script attribute group. The default value is 25.
- When you are finished setting your preferences, click OK to save your settings and close the Preferences window. To restore the default settings, click Restore Defaults before you click OK
