IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2


Configuration load list keyword substitution

Use keyword substitution to create a configuration load list that can be consistently applied to different agents and locations. Tivoli monitoring agents recognize certain keywords in the configuration load list attributes and substitute them using run time values from the central configuration client.

With the exception of @ITMHOME@, any characters that are not alphanumeric are changed to hyphens (-) in the output. The keywords for the configuration load list are:

@PRODUCT@ This is the monitoring agent's lowercase, two-character product code. Example: On a Windows OS agent, @PRODUCT@_trapcnfg.xml resolves to nt_trapcnfg.xml
@ITMHOME@ This is the IBM Tivoli Monitoring installation path. Example: If this is a Linux system and the default installation path is used, @ITMHOME@ resolves to /opt/IBM/ITM/.
@MSN@ This is the Managed System Name (not the subnode name). Examples: If the agent's Managed System Name is primary:icvw3d62:nt, @MSN@ resolves to primary-icvw3d62-nt.
@TASKNAME@ This is the monitoring agent's process name. Examples: klzagent; kntcma.
@VERSION@ This is the monitoring agent's product version. Example: If the agent's version is 6.2.2 Fix Pack 2, @VERSION@ resolves to 06-22-02.
@HOSTNAME@ This is the computer host name. Example: myhost.
@IPADDRESS@ This is the computer network interface IP address. Example: If the agent's IP address is 9.42.38.333, @IPADDRESS@ resolves to 9-42-38-333.
@OSTYPE@ This is the operating system type. Valid values include: z/OS, Tandem, AS/400, Win98, Win95, WinNT, Win2K, WinXP, Windows, Win2003, WinVista, Windows7, and Win2008. The OSTYPE for all other platforms is obtained using the uname command. You can also find the OSTYPE for a given computer in the RAS1 log listed under System Type or by bringing up the Service Console and looking in the upper right-hand corner of the display.
@OSVERSION@ This is the operating system version. Examples: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Version 5 (64bit) resolves to 2-6-18-128-el5; Windows 2003 (32bit) with ServicePack 2 resolves to 5-2-sp2.
@SYSTEMID@ This is the computer system identifier. Example: System ID icvr4a04.mylab.mycity.ibm.com is output as icvr4a04-mylab-mycity-ibm-com.
