Chapter 4 Modifying IPM Components
Adding Components Using Seed Files
Sample Target Seed File
A sample target seed file is shown below:
####################################################################
#
# This file has example definitions for target devices
#
# Comments starts with the "#" character
#
# The format of the file is as follows:
#
# <command><delim><target type><delim><hostname [<aliasname]><delim><read community>
#
# <delim> characters are " ;,\t" "space,semicolon,comma,tab"
#
# <hostname[|aliasname]> : Host name followed by optional aliasName
# separated with a ‘|’ (“vertical bar”)
#
# The valid commands are 'a|A' for add; 'd|D' for delete; 'u|U' for update;
#
# The <target type> is 1 for IP; 2 for CISCO_SAA_RESPONDER; 3 for SNA
#
# For CISCO_SAA_RESPONDER target type, read community string is optional.
# and the IOS RTR (SA Agent) Responder must be enabled
#
# WARNING: Please assure the permissions on these files
# do not allow read access to all users due to
# the inclusions of SNMP community names.

Sample Collector Seed File
A sample collector seed file is shown below:
####################################################################
#
# This file has example definitions for collectors
#
# Comments starts with the "#" character
#
# The format of the file is as follows:
#
# <command><delim><collName><delim><source><delim><target><delim>
# <operation><delim><startTime><delim><duration><delim><collType><SourceInterfaceIP>
#
# <delim> characters are " ;,\t" "space,semicolon,comma,tab"
#
# The valid commands are 'a|A' for add, 'd|D' for delete, 'u|U' for update;
#
# <collType> is M for Monitored, S for Statistical
#
# <startTime> is in the format MM:DD:YYYY:hh:mm:ss
#
# <startTime> = 1 -> start time will be now
#
# <duration> is in number of hours
