  • 1.  Programmatically extract threshold from probe configs

    Posted Mar 21, 2017 03:01 PM

    We frequently get requests for a list of the thresholds in place for a given server.  What's the easiest way to programmatically extract thresholds for a set of servers?  I would imagine it varies from probe to probe, so I'd want to start with cdm.  Thanks!

    So this would be very difficult.

    You now have multiple places information can be stored:

    1) normal probe .cfg files

    2) For TOT and TTT these are stored in the baseline_engine and prediction_engine.

    3) If you are using MSC these are stored in the database and the probe .cfg

    4) some probes have templates.

     

    you best bet would be to use PU and call backs to the probes to collect the information.

    You can review the below KB article shows has to use the NSA probe to loop through hubs and robots to collect the information stored in probe.cfg

     

    hope this helps.

     

    You can search the communities for probe configuration to find other questions on this topic as well.

    "So this would be very difficult."  That's what I figured....thanks anyway.

    Here is another thread discussing similar topic.

    So everyone in the community acknowledges the topic is a challenging segment in the UIM today.
