DX Unified Infrastructure Management

Hello,

We would like to schedule a daily command check which run by logmon, we already configure all other parameters, except the running time.

The idea is to schedule a daily check at 20:00 exactly, an 24 hours check will not going to help us cause we need thew check to run only at 20:00 and not 24 hours from the restart time. 

any idea how to add the running time ?

What product is this question for its not clear to me and I want to be sure its in the right place.

Thank you

This relates to UIM.

I don't think it is possible through logmon probe.

As Yu has mentioned, you can't specify time.

If it is required to execute on 20:00, I would setup cron or task scheduler which writes log on 20:00.

Then, logmon monitor the log file and executes command on match.

But, this is same with executing command from cron or task scheduler directory.

Hi,

An old component (probe) of the product is always forget by the administrators ...

Use the "nexec" probe to schedule commands at spécific date with specific recurring conditions.

Would a pre-processing "Exclude" rule work for you?

Set it to exclude at all times apart from 20:00 - 20:05.  That way the alert will only appear at the time you want.  If not, the nexec probe is most useful as mentioned above.

The exclude rule works only on the input data, how can i check the the current running time to exclude it >? 

What about using a "Time Specification" in the probe's Edit option? (Right click probe, choose Edit)

Just make sure that your interval is higher than 5 minutes and it should only run 1 time

I like that idea, but would that effect all profiles running within the probe?  If they all have different timings it wouldn't work.

Yes, it would affect all profiles on the probe.  You'd probably have to have a dedicated probe for this to function as described.

I've created an idea to try and get this included on the improvement roadmap, please vote it up!

Scheduler in Logmon 

Hi everyone,

Sorry to come back late in this conversation ...

So, it exist an intermediate way with nexec and logmon !

I've not the free time now for trying it myself but, if my memory don't make me mistakes, you can :

Use the nexec probe to schedule a "pu" command like :

../../../bin/pu -u <user> -p <pass> logmon runprofile '<profilename>' ''
I'm not sure for the last empty argument. I write the command on live without a CA UIM under my hands.

Detail : the profile need to be in deactivated state (in your context)

You keep the all features of the logmon probe with the scheduling capabilities of the nexec probe !!

Please, if you can test that and make me a feedback ?

Best regards,

Jonathan
