Running ubisense_health_metric_admin

Use list mode to display current heath metric settings:

ubisense_health_metric_admin list
authentications_amp2_sha256 counter 14000
build_number gauge 600
disk_latency_milliseconds gauge 300
location_sink_tag_packets counter 14000
location_total_receives counter 14000

...

tags_associated gauge 300
user_data_property_deletes counter 900
user_data_property_inserts counter 900
user_data_property_rows gauge 900
user_data_property_updates counter 900
user_data_transactions counter 900

Listed for each metric is the name; type, either gauge or counter; the timeout; and, optionally, a help message offered during reporting.

Use set mode to change a health metric's settings. For example:

ubisense_health_metric_admin set tags_associated gauge 600
set metric tags_associated

This changes the timeout for the tags_associated metric to 600 seconds.

Note: Individual timeouts can be overridden by the value configured in the max_health_timeout_secs configuration parameter, whose default value is 14000 seconds.

Use delete mode to remove a metric. For example:

ubisense_health_metric_admin delete tags_associated
removed metric tags_associated

Note: If you remove metrics which are still generated by the platform they will return when the next value is generated. If you changed timeouts, the returning metrics will revert to their original values.
