Copy data sources using the Data Source Definition page
Use the Data Source Definition page to copy data sources.
Go to the Data Source Definition page. See The Data Source Definition page
Data sources that result in Tivoli Monitoring attribute groups can be copied to the clipboard and pasted back to this agent or another agent. Data sources that do not result in attribute groups are Availability and Windows Event Log data sources.
Procedure
- Select the attribute groups that you want to copy.
- Cut or copy the attribute group by using one of the following choices:
- Click Edit > Cut > Edit > Copy from the menu bar.
- Right-click one of the selected items and click Cut or Copy from the menu.
- Use one of the operating system or Eclipse key strokes that calls the cut or copy action. For example, on Windows systems, pressing Ctrl-C calls the copy action.
Your choice depends on whether you want to remove the data sources that are placed on the clipboard or leave the data sources in place. To remove data sources, use Cut to leave data sources on the clipboard, use Copy.
- Select the parent of an attribute group (the agent, a subnode, or a navigator group) or select an existing attribute group.
- Paste the selection by using one of the following choices:
- Select Edit > Paste from the menu bar.
- Right-click the node where you want to paste the selection in the tree, and click Paste on the menu.
- Use one of the operating system or Eclipse key strokes that calls the paste action. For example, on Windows systems, pressing Ctrl-V calls the paste action.
Results
The attribute groups from the clipboard are placed in the selected parent. Alternatively, if an attribute group is selected, the attribute groups are placed or in the parent of the selected attribute group.
If there is a name conflict with another attribute group while pasting, the pasted attribute group name is changed slightly to avoid the conflict.
What to do next
You can specify the name and help text for a navigator group by selecting an Agent, right-clicking and selecting New Navigator Group. A navigator group is a way of grouping data sources. A navigator group must contain at least two data sources. You can drag data sources into navigator groups as wanted, or drag them out the navigation tree.
