Mapping instances to devices
To map the instances to devices, add the following information to the first line of your script:
<metadata>I2D=true</metadata>
If the device mapping is enabled, all the instances based on the script output must be defined as:
FQDN/IPAddress*InstanceName
where, FQDN/IPAddress the instance is mapped to the console as a device based on the FQDN/IPAddress; InstanceName is the instance display name of the device. FQDN/IPAddress is used as the instance name if you do not provide the InstanceName.
For example, here is a portion of a script that monitors the response code and response time for web servers: <metadata>I2D=true</metadata>
WebServer=finance.domain.com/10.10.10.11*FinanceApp,ResponseTime=2,ResponseCode=200
WebServer=callCenter.domain.com/10.10.10.12*CallCenterApp,ResponseTime=3,ResponseCode=200
Based on this script, two new devices would be created in the console: finance.domain.com and callCenter.domain.com and their instances would be: FinanceApp and CallCenterApp.
Note
If one or more of the script instances names are not defined as (FQDN/IPAddress*InstanceName
), the script does not populate the instances and the associated attributes and you would get an error message.
