Disabling detail monitoring for the agent for Sybase

  1. Make the VCS configuration writable with:
    # haconf -makerw
  2. To disable detail monitoring for Sybase run the following command:
    # hatype -modify Sybase LevelTwoMonitorFreq 0

    Note:

    If the LevelTwoMonitorFreq attribute is overridden at resource level, then use hares command and set the LevelTwoMonitorFreq attribute to 0 at resource level.

  3. Save the configuration with:
    # haconf -dump -makero
