• Value—Text string in the format <interfaceName> <interfaceName>
  • <interfaceName> identifies the network interface on the host where the Monitoring Agent application is running.
• Default—Empty
• Example—dmfe0 dmfe1

MonAgent.capture.pool

• Maximum number of concurrent event handlers.
• Value—Integer in the range 0-2147483647
• Default—8

MonAgent.timeout

• Time to keep an event handler alive for reuse.
• Value—Number of seconds in the range 0-2147483647
• Default—300

MonAgent.event.timeout

• Time to wait before discarding failed events.
• Value—Number of seconds in the range 0-2147483647
• Default—300

MonAgent.event.retry_time

• Time to wait before retrying failed events.
• Value—Number of seconds in the range 0-2147483647
• Default—30

MonAgent.dhcp.packet.forward

• Controls the attachment of the whole packet to the notification.
• Value
  • true—Enables the attachment of the packet.
  • false—Disables the attachment of the packet.
• Default—true

MonAgent.dhcp.enable

• Controls the monitoring of DHCP messages.
• Value
  • true—Enables the monitoring of DHCP messages.
  • false—Disables the monitoring of DHCP messages.

MonAgent.radius.enable

• Controls the monitoring of RADIUS messages.
• Value
  • true—Enables the monitoring of RADIUS messages.
  • false—Disables the monitoring of RADIUS messages.
• Default—true

MonAgent.radius.port

• UDP port on which RADIUS accounting messages are expected.
• Value—Integer; valid port number in the range 1–65535
• Default—1813

MonAgent.radius.server

• Controls the monitoring of RADIUS packets by the pseudo–RADIUS server on the RADIUS accounting port. If you enable the pseudo–RADIUS server, you must also set MonAgent.radius.enable=true.
• Value
  • true—Enables the pseudo RADIUS server to receive RADIUS packets.
  • false—Disables the pseudo RADIUS server from receiving RADIUS packets.
• Default—false

MonAgent.radius.secret.<IP address>

• Shared secret between the RADIUS server and trusted RADIUS client. This value is ignored if MonAgent.radius.server is false.
• Value—IP address and shared secret pair in the format MonAgent.radius.secret.<ip address>=<shared secret>

  For example, a RADIUS client with an IP address of 10.227.7.47 that has a shared secret of secret with the pseudo–RADIUS server would be specified as MonAgent.radius.secret.10.227.7.47=secret.

• Default—MonAgent.radius.secret.127.0.0.1 = secret

MonAgent.ttl

• Time to wait for a detected IP address.
