## system-monitor edit

system-monitor edit - Edit system monitor configuration

**Description:** Use the system-monitor edit command to modify the system monitor parameters.

**Syntax:**

```
  system-monitor edit {{configuration <config-params>} |
                       {system-probe <system-probe-params>} |
                       {disk-space-probe <disk-space-probe-params>} |
                       {network-probe <network-probe-params>}}+
```

**Parameters:**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| <config-params> | The general configuration (see below). |
| <system-probe-params> | The system-probe configuration (see below). |
| <disk-space-probe-params> | The disk-space-probe configuration (see below). |
| <network-probe-params> | The network-probe configuration (see below). |

**General configuration syntax:**

```
  system-monitor edit configuration { {state <enable | disable>} |
                                      {mode <Debug | Normal>} |
                                      {output-type <syslog>} |
```

**General configuration parameters:**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| state | Enable or disable the system-monitor. |
| mode | The working mode. |
| output-type | The output interface type. |
| output-format | The output format when output-type is file or stream. |
| server-address | IP address of the stream server. |
| server-port | Stream server port. |
| server-type | Stream server type. |

**System probe syntax:**

```
  system-monitor edit system-probe { {state <enable | disable>} |
                                     {interval <1-60>} |
                                     {cpu-critical <1-99>} |
                                     {mem-critical <1-99>} |
                                     {cpu-warning <1-99>} |
                                     {mem-warning <1-99> } |
                                     {top-process-num <1-10> } |
                                     {sort-by <mem | cpu>} }+
```

**System probe parameters:**

| Parameter | Description |
| --- | --- |
| state | Enable or disable the system-probe. |
| interval | Interval in seconds at which the probe should collect data. |
| cpu-critical | The threshold in percentage for CPU load in which a critical alarm will be raised in normal mode. |
| mem-critical | The threshold in percentage for memory usage in which a critical alarm will be raised in normal mode. |
| cpu-warning | The threshold in percentage for CPU load in which a warning alarm will be raised in normal mode. |
| mem-warning | The threshold in percentage for memory usage in which a warning alarm will be raised in normal mode. |
| top-process-num | The number of processes that are reported to the output interface. |
| sort-by | The criteria to sort the processes. |

**Disk space probe syntax:**

```
  system-monitor edit disk-space-probe { {state <enable | disable>} |
                                         {interval <1-60>} |
                                         {usage-critical <1-99>} |
                                         {usage-warning <1-99>} }+
