Configuring through the PATROL Configuration Manager CLI

The BMC PATROL Configuration Manager CLI processes a script file that contains commands regarding RuleSets.

To perform BMC PATROL Knowledge Module for End User Experience Management configuration by using the PATROL Configuration Manager RuleSets, you must set values for agent configuration variables in an eumrulesets.cfg file. After you create this file, you can apply the configuration to the PATROL Agent by using the PATROL Configuration Manager CLI. For a list of configuration variables that you can include in the eumrulesets.cfg file, see PATROL-Agent-configuration-variables.

Store your eumrulesets.cfg file in any directory under the %BMC_ROOT%/pconfmgr/rulesets directory and use the following command to apply the RuleSets:

  • (Windows) pcm.cmd -f <scriptFileName>
  • (UNIX) pcm.sh -f <scriptFileName>

The <scriptFileName> variable represents the script file that contains commands to be executed for applying RuleSets. For example, to apply RuleSets, enter the following command in the script file:

apply -a <agentName> <RuleSetsFileName>

The <RuleSetsFileName> variable represents the name of the RuleSets file.

Note

In the preceding command:

  • Specify the path as relative to the RuleSets directory.
  • Do not add the extension while specifying the file name.

For more information about the commands and options that can be used in a script file, see the PATROL Configuration Manager User Guide in PDFs.
