Sample partition file

The following sample partition file illustrates the format and content expected.

# SAMPLE PARTITION FILE
#
# IMPORTANT: Do not overwrite this file. Copy to another directory # before making changes.
#
# Lines beginning with a ‘#’ are treated as comments and are ignored.
# Note: Do not specify a line that starts with an ‘*’ as it might prevent
# proper functioning.
#
# Basic Format
# PARTITION-ID IP.PIPE:nn.nn.nn.nn IP.PIPE:nn.nn.nn.nn
#
# Procedure to edit this sample partition file.
# To create a monitoring server partition file for a typical scenario 
# (monitoring agent outside of a NAT firewall connecting to a 
# monitoring server behind the firewall),do the following:
# 1) Replace the “$OUTSIDE-PID$” with the partition id of your monitoring agent
# 2) Replace the “$OUTSIDE-TEMS-HOST-ADDRESS$” with the ip address of the monitoring 
# server host outside of the firewall.
# 3) Add additional IP.PIPE:nn.nn.nn.nn addresses on a single line for multiple
# Network Interface Cards (NICs) as in the format above. Separate entries with 
# two spaces.Lines can be continued by placing a backslash (‘\’) char at 
# the end of the line.
