IBM Tivoli Monitoring, Version 6.3 Fix Pack 2
Configure an SSM agent
There are several configuration functions you can perform with SSM agents using the tacmd configureSystem command.
- Change the logging file and level on the agent and perform a silent reboot of the agent. Example:
tacmd configureSystem -h achan1.raleigh.ibm.com -p SNMPPORT=16002 LogFile=test.log LogLevel=debug -r
Transfer files, including executable files, to the agent machine. Example: tacmd configureSystem -h achan1.raleigh.ibm.com -p SNMPPORT=16002 -l test1.exe test2.exe
Transfer configuration files to the agent machine. Example: tacmd configureSystem -h achan1.raleigh.ibm.com -p SNMPPORT=16002 -c test1.cfg test2.cfg
- The files specified in the configfile (–c) option or the filelist (–l) option must be stored in the ssmconfig subdirectory of the depot directory.
- If your depot directory is c:\IBM\ITM\CMS\depot, you must put the files specified in the configfile option or the filelist option into the c:\IBM\ITM\CMS\depot\ssmconfig directory.
- If your depot directory is /opt/IBM/ITM/tables/TEMS_NAME/depot, put the files into the /opt/IBM/ITM/tables/TEMS_NAME/depot/ssmconfig directory.
- The files are pulled from the agent through the Tivoli Enterprise Monitoring Server's HTTP server. Here is an example of an HTTP request:
http://tems_host_name:1920//ms/kdh/lib/depot/ssmconfig/test1.cfg
