machine). The refresh of the cached inventory for each inventory_source is determined
by the inventory_max_age option.
The following option specifications are examples:
System specification:
-x inventory_source=ssh://[e-mail]
Depot specification:
-x inventory_source=ssh://host.example.com/var/spool/sw
Inventory file specification:
-x inventory_source=file:///home/user/local_inventory.xml
Note: This option is equivalent to -s but is suitable for use within an extended options
file (-X) or configuration file.
-x logfile=/var/opt/swa/swa.log
Usage: Basic
Applicable steps: catalog, inventory, analyze, report, download, depot
This is the path to the log file for the command. Each time SWA is run, this file will grow larger.
This can be changed, for example, to a month-specific location for easier archiving, off-host
backup, and rotation.
-x log_verbosity=4
Usage: Basic
Applicable steps: catalog, inventory, analyze, report, download, depot
This option specifies the level of message verbosity in the log file (See also -x verbosity).
Legal values are:
0 Only ERROR messages and the starting and ending BANNER messages.
1 Adds WARNING messages.
2 Adds NOTE messages.
3 Adds INFO messages (informational messages preceded by the '*' character).
4 Adds verbose INFO messages; this is the default.
5 Adds very verbose INFO messages.
-x preview=false
Usage: Basic
Applicable steps: download, depot
This option specifies whether swa step should be run in preview mode or not. If preview is
set to false, it is not run in preview mode. If preview is set to true, it is run in preview mode:
the analysis phase is completed and no changes are committed to disk. Setting this option to
true has the same effect as specifying -p on the command line.
-x proxy=
Usage: Basic
Applicable steps: catalog, download
This option specifies the proxy host and port (with optional HTTP basic authentication username
and password) for accessing content using the relevant protocol. No proxy information is
specified by default.
The following format is used:
service://[user:password@]proxy-server:port
For example: proxy=http://web-proxy.mycompany.com:8088
