How do I bulk modify a service's settings?

[omarrrthepirate]

The Page File service has values that are way too low so we get a ton of critical service alerts. it's currently set to warning at 15% and I forgot what it's set for Critical. But how do I modify these values for all my hosts? I think I may want to change the CPU usage and C Drive usage attributes as well. Thank you!

What version of XI are you using? You can grab it from the bottom left hand side of the web interface after logging in.

It depends on how they are setup. Please PM me a copy of your profile.zip so I can see how they are setup, you can download it from Admin > System Profile by clicking the Download Profile button.

Based on the way you have them configured:

define service {
host_name xxxx
service_description Page File Usage
use xiwizard_windowswmi_service
check_command check_xi_service_wmiplus!'xxxxx/xxxxx'!'xxxxx'!checkpage!-w '10' -c '15'

You should be able to go to Configure > Configure Config Manager > Tools > Bulk Modifications Tool:
- Click Change Command and Arguments
- Click the Toggle All button to UNCHECK every box
- Check $ARG4$ and change it the new values (whatever you want):

Code: Select all

-w '85' -c '95'

- Click Select Services and select all of the Page File services
- Click Save Changes
- Apply Configuration

No matter what command I select under the Bulk Modifications Tool, all the arguments are blank. I'm also not sure which command to modify; I don't see one in there about page file check.

Hello @omarrrthpirate

Thanks for following up, let's go ahead and find out what command the "file check" is.

Head over to the Web console > Service Status > 'click on the file check service status'

• Select Configure Tab (Gear Icon)
• Re-configure this service > Monitoring Tab
• Here you will find the exact command the service check is using.

Then make your way to the Bulk Modification and update the Args ( the Args will be blank by default as they are waiting for input )

Please let us know what you find,
Perry
