Attribute definition keywords
These attribute definition keywords are keywords in EDL that define characteristics of
user-defined attributes for an entity. These characteristics let ASAP provide specific
availability monitoring services for user-defined attributes.
Example
This example shows user-defined attributes for the CPU entity. These attributes
determine how the ASAP Client displays and analyzes CPU attribute properties such
as CPU Number, Busy, Queue, and Swap rate.

In this example, the NodeName attribute has its Show GRID attribute property set to
YES and GRAPH attribute property set to NO. The GRAPH property is not enabled
because it does not make sense to graph a node name.
Also, the user-defined CPU attribute defines the CPU number and has HELP text
"CPU Number".
