"/RHEVMon/java_home"= {REPLACE = "JAVA HomeDirpath"},

restart the PATROL Agent to apply the changes.

"/RHEVMon/java_home"= {REPLACE = "/usr/java/jdk1.7.0_71/jre"},

"/RHEVMon/RHEVManagerName/mcInfo" = {REPLACE = "RHEVManagerName<Ctrl+B>UserName<Ctrl+B>EncryptedPassword
<Ctrl+B>DomainName<Ctrl+B>certificatePath<Ctrl+B>PortNumber"}, 

"/RHEVMon/RHEVhostName/mcInfo" = {REPLACE = "myRHEVHost.xyz.com<Ctrl+B>
myRHEVHostuser<Ctrl+B>myRHEVHostPassword
<Ctrl+B>myRHEVHostDomain<Ctrl+B>/home/myRHEVHost/ca.crt<Ctrl+B>443"},

"/SecureStore/RHEVMon/RHEVManager/passWord" = {REPLACE =
"REV_Manager_Container;REV_Manager/password"},

"/SecureStore/RHEVMon/RHEVhostName/passWord" = {REPLACE
= "RHEV_Manager_Container;RHEV_Manager/pass$$word"},

"/RHEVMon/RHEVManagerName/filter" = {REPLACE = "DataCenterCriteria
<Ctrl+B>ClustersCriteria<Ctrl+B>HostsCriteria<Ctrl+B>VMsCriteria
<Ctrl+B>VMHostFQDNFlag"},

"/RHEVMon/RHEVhostName/filter" = {REPLACE = "type= fcp and status=up<Ctrl+B>
name !=test1 and name !=test2<Ctrl+B>name =myVM<Ctrl+B>true"}

/RHEVMon/RHEVManagerName/ReadableSID

Values:

  • 0 = UUID based
  • 1 = label based

 

This option helps you to change the PATROL instance SID format. The default vale is UUID format.

 

If you select Label Based format, restart the PATROL Agent to apply the changes.
