Definitions for the policy distribution function are made on the operation management client.
This section explains the directory structure of the policy management folder that stores these definitions.
Create policy definition information files for collecting performance information (server resource information and response/operating information) and for performing threshold monitoring.
Create a policy distribution definition file (Distribute.ini) to define which servers the policy definition information files should be distributed to.
Storage location
The policy management folder is on the Operation Management Client.
<Operation Management Client installation directory>\Policy_ROOT |
The gray part indicates the files that exist by default.
Policy management folder (Policy_ROOT, GROUP)
The policy management folder is where policy distribution groups are stored.
The policy management folder (Policy_ROOT) contains connection destination definition files (agentlist.cfg), which define connection information for policy distribution destination servers.
Policy distribution group folder (Default)
The "Default" folder is the base for folders for each policy group. It is created at installation time,
Either use the "Default" folder as the policy distribution group folder or create multiple policy distribution group folders by copying the "Default" folder. The default policy distribution group folder contains a policy distribution definition file (Distribute.ini) for specifying distribution destinations.
Policy distribution group folder
When Systemwalker Service Quality Coordinator is first installed, only the "Default" folder exists.
To add more policy distribution groups, create policy distribution groups by copying and then renaming the "Default" folder under the "GROUP" folder. The names of these new folders are used to specify the policy distribution group when policies are distributed.
The policy definition information files that are distributed to servers are also stored in the policy distribution group folders.
Template folder(template)
The template folder contains templates of policy definition information files to be distributed for each version level and each operating system as a package. Use these templates by copying them into policy distribution groups according to the version level and operating system of the distribution destination.
Sample folder (sample)
The sample folder contains sample definition files that are used for threshold monitoring and Web transaction volume management. These files are preset definition files and can be used by copying to a folder. Sample definitions are the same as for those stored on the Agent.
Refer to "10.2 Threshold Monitoring Definition File (Sample)" and "2.4 Transaction Log Definition File (Sample)" for the definition content.
Note
When the policy distribution function is used to perform threshold monitoring or Web transaction volume management, use the sample definition files stored in the "sample" folder.
Point
Definition information being distributed is not encrypted. For this reason, when using the function for linking with Oracle Database Server or SAP NetWeaver that requires password definition, do not perform policy distribution.
Refer to "11.2.2 Creating policy definition information files" for more information about definition information files.
