2.2 Definition File for Collecting Information of IT Resource

File name

mdr_inv.properties

Use

When you set up an agent (AGT_INV) for collecting IT resource information, specify the subnet address for node detection, the subnet mask, and the SNMP community name.
When you don't set up an agent (AGT_INV) for collecting IT resource information, there is no need to edit this file.

Additionally, for large system, you can collect IT resource information sequentially by dividing the subnet into two or more groups.

Use

File Format

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.network.address=Subnet address

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.network.subnetmask= Subnet mask

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.snmp.community= SNMP community name is public

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.node.discovery.ignore=Disregard of node detection

Parameter

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.network.address

Specify the subnet address.

When you specify two or more address, specify it by comma (,) delimitation.

When you detect node of a Management Server, or a subnet of Linked Server, you can omit this item.

If you omit this item, the node is detected from IPv4 subnet belonging to Management Server or Linked Server. When you specify the subnet address, the agent detects only node of the specified subnet.

IP addresses in IPv4 and IPv6 formats cannot be specified collectively. Separate them into different groups.

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.network.subnetmask

Specify the subnet mask.

For IPv6 environments, specify the length of the subnet prefix.

[Group name].mdbad.inventory.snmp.community

Specify "public" for SNMP community name.

[Group name]].mdbad.inventory.node.discovery.ignore

Specify whether the node detection is disregarded or not.

true: Node is not detected.

false: Node is detected.

The agent (AGT_INV) execute detection of node automatically first, and then reflect the IT resource information to detected node.

When "true" is set to this parameter, the agent doesn't execute regular node detection, and the agent gather information from already detected node.

When you want to gather IT resource information after the detection of node every time, specify "false" to this parameter.

However, when you use "cmdbrefresh" command, even if "true" is set to this parameter, the agent detects IT resource information.
