    Use this command to list or update Indexer templates.

    Note

    BMC recommends that you do not update the templates unless you are instructed to by BMC Customer Support.

    When an index is created a suitable template is automatically applied to that index. Based on the kind of data contained in the index, a matching template is applied. The template determine how the indexed data will be analyzed and interpreted by the product.

    Data indexed based on a data pattern contains fields stored with particular field types. These field types are stored in the dynamic template.  Based on the field types, the product will determine if those fields need to be interpreted as aplhanumeric (STRING) or numeric (INTEGER, LONG, and so on). Similarly, other templates are applied on particular kinds of data and based on the template applied, that data is analyzed and interpreted.  

    The following kinds of templates are available:

    • Dynamic template (named dynamic_template_1): Applied to both data index types and metrics index types.
    • Metadata template (named itda_metadata): Applied to the metadata index type.
    • Configuration template (named itda_config): Applied to an index containing status about the last ten polls for data collectors. 

    These templates are located at %BMC_ITDA_HOME%\conf\server\indexertemplates\.

    For more information about the index types, see indexlist CLI command.

    Prefix this command with the following, as appropriate:

    • For Windows: itda.bat
    • For Linux: ./itda.sh

    indexertemplates -d <hostname> -p <portNumber> -u <username> -w <password> -ops <operationName> -f <fileDetails> -tname <templateName> [-l <locale>] [-s] [-v]

    Note: The update operation allows you to apply the updates made to the template file. To change a property in a template, you need to change the value of the property in the template file. If the property is not already present in the file, you need to add the property with the corresponding new value. After making the changes and saving the template, you need to run this command with the update operation to apply the new changes. Unless you run the command, manual changes made to the file are not registered.

    This parameter is only applicable while running the list operation.

    When you run the list operation, the template details are listed in the specified file.

    You can choose to perform an operation on an individual template or on all the templates.
