Right-click
Site System Status Summarizer in the Status Summarizers node and choose
Properties from context menu to display the Site System Status
Summarizer Properties dialog box, as shown in
Figure 9.
Notice that the Enable Status Summarization and Replicate To Parent
Site options are selected by default. If you want to disable site
system status summarization, clear the option Enable Status
Summarization. If you do so, however, the status message system won’t
be of much help to you as far as tracking site system thresholds.
However, you’ll still be collecting component status. You might decide
that tracking component status is enough, and because, let’s say, you
have resource concerns on the site server, you might choose to turn off
site system status summarization to conserve on resource usage.
If
you don’t want to send status information to administrators in a parent
site, clear the option Replicate to Parent Site. You might choose to do
so if all site troubleshooting occurs at your site or your parent site
administrators don’t want to receive status information from your site,
or both. If you’re replicating status messages to a parent site, you
can set the replication priority for those messages. The default, as
you see in
Figure 9,
is Medium. You might choose Low as a replication priority if you’ve set
address options limiting the priority of intersite communications and you want to control when status messages are sent to the parent.
Click the Schedule button to display the Schedule dialog box, where you
can specify a schedule for when and how often site system status
summarization takes place.
