Exporting and importing blackout and monitoring policies

Use the command-driven policy migration utility to export and import the infrastructure monitoring and blackout policies.

Notes

The policy migration utility does not export Integration Service or cluster details of Agent configuration under the monitoring policy.
If the source computer has the base and extended repositories and the destination computer has only the base repository, policies that are created using the monitoring solutions from the extended repository, fail to import on the destination computer.
The time-frame names are not case-sensitive. For example, if the destination computer has a time frame Tf1 and if you try to import a time frame tf1, the import fails.

Before you begin

If you have implemented an encryption key to secure PATROL Agent data, ensure that both source and destination TrueSight Presentation Servers have the same passphrase to successfully migrate the policies. For more information, see Changing-the-encryption-key-to-secure-PATROL-Agent-data.

Location of the policy migration utility command

Windows: <installed_location_Presentation_Server>\bin\cmapolicymigration.bat
Linux: <installed_location_Presentation_Server>/bin/cmapolicymigration.sh

Example:

C:\Program Files\BMC Software\TrueSightPServer\truesightpserver\bin\cmapolicymigration.bat

Command syntax

To export policy files

On the Presentation Server host, go to the bin directory that contains the policy migration command:
- Windows: CD /D "%TRUESIGHTPSERVER_HOME%\truesightpserver\bin"
- Linux: cd $TRUESIGHTPSERVER_HOME/truesightpserver/bin
From the bin directory, run one of the following commands:
- Windows: cmapolicymigration.bat export options attributes
- Linux: cmapolicymigration.sh export options attributes

Export options and attributes

Export examples

cmapolicymigration.bat export all -d "C:\Policies"

cmapolicymigration.bat export –p Policy1 –n Policy2 -d "C:\Policies"

To import policy files

On the Presentation Server host, go to the bin directory that contains the policy migration command:
- Windows: CD /D "%TRUESIGHTPSERVER_HOME%\truesightpserver\bin"
- Linux: cd $TRUESIGHTPSERVER_HOME/truesightpserver/bin
From the bin directory, run one of the following commands:
- Windows:
  cmapolicymigration.bat import options attributes
- Linux:
  
  cmapolicymigration.sh import options attributes

Import options
