That sounds like a lot of work for what should be a relatively simple task.
For SystemEdge models I've found an attribute "PMon SendAlarmsTo" for process models that you can toggle between "Device Model" and "Process Model" but for bog-standard Windows Host models that attribute doesn't appear. I see nothing for disk models (which show up some attributes in some places as DMonxxxxxxx) There's got to be a simple way of doing this! Dave David K.

Change default alarm generation? Hi David I hope I've understood your question correctly. I did some work on this a few years back but we ended up using self-monitors for FS monitoring instead. My memory is a little rusty but basically you need to create a MonitoredDisk model for the file system you want to monitor, then associate that file system with the RFC2790 model of the server by creating "provides" and "SENDS_EVENTS_TO" relations. Something like: create association rel=provides lmh=<server_rfc2790_MH> rmh=<MH_of_the_monitored_disk_you_just_created> create association rel=SENDS_EVENTS_TO lmh=<MH_of_the_monitored_disk_you_just_created> rmh=<server_rfc2790_MH> I also remember something about Spectrum using file system names rather than the mount point names that you would normally want to display in your alarms. There's an attribute mapping between the file system names and the mount point names. Hope that helps but email me if you want and I'll try to find my notes.

Change default alarm generation? All, We have been taking on more and more server monitoring recently and as such we've been doing a lot of file system monitoring using the RFC2790 panels in OneClick. One thing that's causing a major pain is that by default these alarms are generated on the disk models (I believe process models for process monitoring work the same) rather than the device models. Is there an attribute I can set in bulk via Attribute Editor that will force all RFC2790 file system and process alarms to assert on the device model rather than have our 1st Line guys go through each server individually and set the "Generate Alarm On" option one at a time?
