  1. Log on to the PATROL Agent host where the custom monitor types are created.
  2. Create the following folder structure.
    %PATROL_HOME%\..\Uninstall\tools\pcig\Patrol3\lib\knowledge
  3. Copy the custom monitor types from %PATROL_HOME%\lib\knowledge and paste them to the folder that you created.

  4. Open the command prompt and go to the pcig folder (%PATROL_HOME%\..\Uninstall\tools\pcig) and enter the following command to create a package to import it to the TrueSight console:
    pcig-64.exe -p ppm -s Patrol3 -r 2018.15.6 -t “SNMP Custom Monitor types”

    Where pcig-64 depends on the type of environment whether 64-bit or 32-bit

    -p is the Product code

    -s is the Source folder

    -r is the version number

    -t is the title of the package

  5. Log on to your TrueSight console and navigate to Administration > Repository.
  6. Select Installation component, click Import and select Single solution.
  7. Click Browse to select the newly created package from the pcig folder and click Import.
  8. Once the package is imported, go to the Configuration tab and select Infrastructure Policies.
