MAT daemon screen

The MAT daemon view provides a view of the monitored parameters, MATd configuration, and user script scheduler.  From this view a user can inspect the properties of a monitored parameter by double-clicking on the parameter.  The monitored parameter properties can also be accessed by right-clicking on a historic object.

The MATd icon is for controlling the interval, or time at which a task runs. For monitored parameters it also provides access to the alarm thresholds. The MATd cleaner is a special house-keeping task which trims the log files of the monitored parameters.  The maximum length a file can grow to is configurable for every MATd task. The Discovery job is a special house-keeping task which automatically tries to determine which monitored parameters are available on a host.  It can detect the addition of new disks, services, etc, and adds entries to the MATd config file accordingly.
