Linux OS monitoring agent

The table in this section lists the Linux OS monitoring agent environment variables.

Linux OS monitoring agent environment variables

Variable Description Possible values Default value
KBB_NFS_TIMEOUT To adjust the timeout on NFS file systems monitoring (in seconds). 1 - 30. 2
KBB_SHOW_NFS Specifies whether NFS monitoring is enabled. The default value is false on Linux and UNIX systems. [true|false], not case sensitive. false, not case-sensitive

KDEBE_FIPS_MODE_
ENABLED
To request GSKit compliance to FIPS 140-2 standards when computing checksums for files in the File Information attribute group. [yes|no], not case-sensitive. no, not case-sensitive

KLZ_CPUSTAT_SAMPLE_
SECS
To tune the sampling interval for the CPU attribute group (in seconds). Greater than or equal to 5. 30
KLZ_DISK_SAMPLE_HRS To tune the sampling interval for the Disk Usage Trends attribute group (in seconds). Greater than or equal to 1. 3600

KLZ_IOSTAT_SAMPLE_
SECS
To tune the sampling interval for the Disk IO attribute group (in seconds). Greater than or equal to 5. 30

KLZ_NETSTAT_SAMPLE_
SECS
To tune the sampling interval for the Network attribute group (in seconds). Greater than or equal to 5. 30
KLZ_PINGHOSTLIST To set the full qualified path of the file containing the list of servers for the Host Availability attribute group. A valid UNIX pathname. Blank

KLZ_PROCESS_CMD_
SAMPLE_SECS
An internal caching mechanism improves agent performance, in terms of response time and CPU consumption while collecting process information. The agent updates process information in the cache, related to process PID, command, and arguments, every 120 seconds by default. You can specify a different cache refresh value in the KLZ_PROCESS_CMD_ SAMPLE_SECS environment variable. Greater than or equal to 30. 120

KLZ_PROCESS_SAMPLE_
SECS
To tune the sampling interval for the Process Instant Busy CPU (Percent) attribute in the Process group (in seconds). 0, or greater than or equal to 5. 60
KLZ_PROCNORM_TEST To enable Process short-term CPU average attributes also for Queries. [y|n], not case-sensitive. n, not case-sensitive
KLZ_SETLPARVMID To set the CTIRA_HOSTNAME parameter for the agent as Lparname.VMname:LZ (Linux 390 systems only). [y|n], not case-sensitive. n, not case-sensitive

KLZ_SKIP_DISABLED_
DISKS
To avoid the OS agent reporting on SAN Physical Disks that are not available to the system. [TRUE|true|True] or false, not case-sensitive. false, not case-sensitive

KLZ_SWAPTREND_
SAMPLE_HRS
To tune the sampling interval for the Swap Rate attribute group (in seconds). Greater than or equal to 1. 3600

KLZ_SYSSTAT_SAMPLE_
SECS
To tune the sampling interval for the System Statistics attribute group (in seconds). Greater than or equal to 5. 30

KLZ_TCPSTAT_SAMPLE_
SECS
To tune the sampling interval for the TCP Statistics attribute group. Greater than or equal to 5. 30

UID_USERNAME_
REFRESH_TIME
To tune the refresh interval of uid<->username and gid<->groupname mapping tables (in minutes). Greater than or equal to 1. 60
