I imported the SMART hard drive script found here in the forum and apparently set it to run as logged in user instead of system account, thus I get errors when a user is not logged in. I can’t seem to find a way to change this setting. Do I need to delete it and re-import it to set it to run in the System account?

Also I have found the RAM and CPU performance monitors to needlessly alert more continually and with several hundred systems it’s pretty bad. I have gone into the profiles and remove the CPU and RAM from default performance monitor but am still getting alerts. Is there a way to track down where this is being executed from?

Hi @caronet,

You will need to change the the settings to System Account to be able to make the script work.

As for the RAM and CPU performance monitor alerts, we will have someone look into this issue. We will also be sending an email to keep you updated with the progress.

Thanks,

Of course I need to change to System Account. That’s precisely what I said. I asked how to do this.

It is my experience that the alerts will trickle in for some time, also, if you were getting too many alerts from the monitor, adjust the monitor to fit your environment, change the % values and the number of minutes before it triggers. This worked for me.

Option C
In ITSM, on the left panel:

  1. Select Configuration Templates
  2. Select Profiles

  4. Click on the name of the profile and it will give you a new set of options.
  5. Select Add Profile Section and a drop down menu will appear
  6. Select Procedures
