Using PCM to apply configurations changes to other agents
BMC Software recommends that you configure multiple agents using the following method:
- Using a PATROL console, configure monitoring on one agent.
- Use the PATROL Configuration Manager to copy the agent configuration to the other similar agents, using the procedure described below.
To copy configuration changes using PCM
- Using the PATROL Configuration Manager, perform a get on the PATROL Agent.
- Configure the PATROL Agent as desired.
- Using the PATROL Configuration Manager, perform a get to obtain the new PATROL Agent configuration.
- In PATROL Configuration Manager, compare the last 2 configurations.
- Save the differences between the 2 agent configuration as a new rule set.
- Apply this rule set to the other PATROL Agents.
For more detailed information about using the PATROL Configuration Manager, see the PATROL Configuration Manager User Guide or the PATROL KM for Event Management online documentation portal.
