Devices with multiple IP addresses
Infrastructure Management supplies aliases and alias formulas for all devices. However, the alias only applies to the first device-IP association, when the device is associated with multiple IP addresses. You must create a custom alias formula to supply an alias to any subsequent device-IP associations. For example, the following alias formula associates the alias pn_vm-w23-sms29_<IPAddress> to a device with the attributes EA_EVENT class and with the mc_object slot equal to testobj1:
BMC_SIM_MATCH_TABLE;
data_handle=966;
mc_udid='mc.pncell_vm-w23-rds847.ad85f87.0';
mc_creation_time=1255694215;
mc_modification_time=1255694275;
mc_modification_requestor=admin;
publish_env_id='';
ReadSecurity=[];
WriteSecurity=[];
name=Custom_AF1;
tag=alias;
input_match=['<EA_EVENT>','*','*','*','*','<testobj1>','*'];
ref_instances_classes=[EA_EVENT];
output_expressions=['sprintf("pn_vm-w23-sms29_%s",
[$1.mc_host_address])'];
END
data_handle=966;
mc_udid='mc.pncell_vm-w23-rds847.ad85f87.0';
mc_creation_time=1255694215;
mc_modification_time=1255694275;
mc_modification_requestor=admin;
publish_env_id='';
ReadSecurity=[];
WriteSecurity=[];
name=Custom_AF1;
tag=alias;
input_match=['<EA_EVENT>','*','*','*','*','<testobj1>','*'];
ref_instances_classes=[EA_EVENT];
output_expressions=['sprintf("pn_vm-w23-sms29_%s",
[$1.mc_host_address])'];
END
To add or edit an alias formula associated with a component instance
- In the Services tab View window, open a service model.
Right-click a component instance and select Event Alias Formulas to open the Alias Formulas Editor window.
- See Working-with-event-alias-formulas.
