Configuration files
By default TrueSight Server Automation automatically recognizes standard configuration files for all supported OSs.
For TrueSight Server Automation to read a configuration file correctly, it must adhere to configuration file standards for the relevant operating system. TrueSight Server Automation can also treat most types of XML files as configuration files.
Parsing configuration files
TrueSight Server Automation uses a system of grammar files to parse configuration files. Typically the TrueSight Server Automation grammars examine each line in a configuration file, and if the line matches rules set up in the grammar, the grammar generates a configuration file record. When defining a grammar file, an option exists for creating configuration file records from multiple lines, which is required for some types of configuration files.
After configuration file records are created, you can browse, snapshot, audit, run compliance on, and deploy them like other server objects. Using these standard procedures, you can manipulate the contents of configuration files with great precision, down to their individual lines. In this way you can monitor configuration files on servers throughout your system and if necessary correct inconsistencies. For more information, see:
