IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2

Initiating with tacmd putfile

You can initiate Centralized Configuration using the CLI tacmd putfile to transfer the configuration load list to the monitoring agent.


Take these steps to push the configuration load list to the monitoring agent where you want to initiate Centralized Configuration. The IBM Tivoli Monitoring Command Reference describes the tacmds and their syntax and includes examples.


Procedure

  1. Log onto the to the hub monitoring server: 

      tacmd login –s myhubserver –u myusername –p mypassword –t 1440

    where myhubserver is the fully qualified host name of the hub monitoring server, and myusername and mypassword is a valid user ID for logging onto the monitoring server operating system.

  2. Push the file: tacmd putfile –m Primary:winhost:NT -s C:\config\cnfglist.xml -d C:\IBM\ITM\localconfig\nt\nt_cnfglist.xml -t text

  3. Recycle the agent to activate the configuration load list. See Start, stopping, and recycling an agent through the Tivoli Enterprise Portal

    • OS agents can also be recycled in the portal client using the AMS Recycle Agent Instance Take Instance: Open the Agent Management Services workspace of the OS Agent; right-click the OS agent in the "Agent Runtime Status" table view and click Take Action - Select; select AMS Recycle Agent Instance.

    • The AMS Recycle Agent Instance Take Action command can also be run using the CLI tacmd executeAction. Here are some samples for the OS agents: 

        tacmd executeaction -n "AMS Recycle Agent Instance" -t nt -m
Primary:winhost:NT -c value="Monitoring Agent for Windows OS, kntcma.exe,,"

        tacmd executeaction -n "AMS Recycle Agent Instance" -t lz -m
linuxhost:LZ -c value="Monitoring Agent for Linux OS,klzagent,,"

        tacmd executeaction -n "AMS Recycle Agent Instance" -t ux -m
unixhost:KUX -c value="Monitoring Agent for Unix OS,kuxagent,,"
