Configuring Initial Properties for the Surveillance Director

To monitor subsets of subscriber traffic by using the Surveillance Director, you configure properties for the Surveillance Director.

To configure bootstrap properties for the Surveillance Director:

1. On the SAE host, log in as root or as an authorized nonroot admin user.
2. Start the local configuration tool from the installation directory for the IDP integration component:

/opt/UMC/idp/etc/config -l

The first time that you issue this command, it creates the default.properties file and displays the local configuration tool window for the properties.

3. On the Main tab, configure general properties for Surveillance Director.

See General Properties for Surveillance Director.

4. On the other tab, configure Java properties for Surveillance Director.

See Java Properties for Surveillance DIrector.

5. Click OK.
