#### (1) Settings on the agent settings menu

This menu is used to set information communication and alerts for the agent service. The table below describes the setting items on the agent settings menu. The setting items displayed on the menu depend on the version of the agent service and the OS.

Item | Default | Setting
--- | --- | ---
CommandTimeout | 90 | Set the wait time (in seconds) for a response to a transmission from the manager service to the agent service. The permitted value range is from 1 to 600.
Keepalive | False | Set whether the keep-alive option between the agent service and the manager service is to be enabled. To enable the keep-alive option, set True.
KeepaliveInterval | 600 | When the keep-alive option is enabled, specify a keep-alive interval (in seconds). The permitted value range is from 1 to 3,600. When you set a keep-alive interval, make sure that the specified value is greater than the command timeout value (setting item: CommandTimeout).
ShutdownDemand | True | Set whether a shutdown request from the console service is to be accepted. To accept such requests, set True.
InformationAlert | False | Set True to send information alerts (other than errors). In the server alert log, information about the alerts that have occurred is recorded whether this setting is True or False.
CautionAlert | True | Set True to send caution alerts (cautionary warning information information). In the server alert log, information about the alerts that have occurred is recorded whether this setting is True or False.
WarningAlert | True | Set True to send warning alerts (normal error information). In the server alert log, information about the alerts that have occurred is recorded whether this setting is True or False.
ObstacleAlert | True | Set True to send failure alerts (error information requiring immediate attention) to the console service. In the server alert log, information about the alerts that have occurred is recorded whether this setting is True or False.
AlertKeepDays | 30 | Set the number of days alert log files are to be retained. The permitted value range is from 0 to 90. When 0 is set, the alert log files will be retained until deleted by the user.
AlertCapacity | 1,024 | Set the amount (in kilobytes) of alert log information that can be stored before a warning is to be sent to the management console (alert log information is saved as one file per day). The permitted value range is from 0 to 1,048,576. The default is 1,024 kilobytes. If 0 is set, no warning will be sent. An alert log file is saved with the date as the file name (the extension is .log) in the /var/opt/htcsma directory (for example, the log file created for December 1, 2004, is saved under file name 20041201.log).
SyslogOutput | False | Set True to send to syslog the alerts that are to be sent to the console service. Only the alerts that are reported to the console service are output.

#### (2) Settings on the agent environment settings menu

This menu is used to set the manager service at the connection destination as well as the hardware installation and asset information. The table below describes the setting items on the agent environment settings menu. The setting items displayed on the menu depend on the version of the agent service and OS.

Item | Default | Setting
--- | --- | ---
Target Machine | None (mandatory) | Set the type of server on which Agent has been installed.
ManagerAddress | None (mandatory) | Set the IP address of the manager service at the connection destination. You can register a maximum of four manager services at the connection destination.

SessionTimeout | 900 | Set the amount of time before the session is to be closed when there is no communication between the agent and manager services. The permitted value range is from 0 to 7,200. The default is 900 seconds. If there are no charges for the communication line with the manager service because of the network in use (such as a LAN), you can set the value 0. When 0 is set, the session will not be closed.
SITE | "" | Set a maximum of eight classes of site information. The information items that can be specified are defined sequentially as class 1, class 2, class 3, and so on. Following SITE=, each class can be entered as a separate line, or all the classes can be entered continuously delimited by a slash (/). Each class must consist of no more than 256 characters including the delimiter (/) and must satisfy the following condition: Total number of characters per class + (class number - 1) 256 (where means less that or equal to) We recommend that you set one class at a time, such as the city in class 1, the facility in class 2, and building name, floor, section name, etc., in other classes.
