pw group add_monitor

This command adds a monitor to a group.

Warning

You can use the pw group add_monitor command only with groups that contain only other monitor instances or that are empty. This command will fail if the group contains other subgroups.

pw group add_monitor [-p <ParentGroupName>| -c <ChildGroupName>] -f <filter>

The -f filter option allows you to filter out a monitors to be added to a device. The filter option can have anyone of the following value :

  • device=device
  • mtype=monitortypeUniqueName
  • mname=monitorInstanceName
  • mtype=monitortypeUniqueName,mname=monitorInstanceName

  • device=device,mtype=monitortypeUniquename,mname=monitorInstanaceName

    For example:

  • To add all the monitors under a device named "xyz.co.in" to a parent group called "test_group," run the following command:
    pw group add_monitor -p test_group -f device="xyz.co.in" 
  • To add all the Solaris Process Monitor instances under the device named "xyz.co.in" to a parent group called "test_group," run the following command:
    pw group add_monitor -p test_group -f device="xyz.co.in",mtype="SolarisProcess" 
  • To add all the monitor instances of Solaris Process having instance name as "JServer" under a device named "xyz.co.in" to a child group called "test_group," run the following command:
    pw group add_monitor -c test_group -f device="xyz.co.in",mtype=SolarisProcess,mname=jserver 
  • To add all the Solaris Process Monitor instances under all the devices in the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server to a child group called "test_group," run the following command:
    pw group add_monitor -c test_group -f mtype="SolarisProcess" 
  • To add all the monitor instances named "yahoo" under all the devices in the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server to a parent group called "test_group," run the following command:
    pw group add_monitor -p test_group -f mname=yahoo

Limitation

When the pw group add_monitor command is used with a filter specifying a device and that device had monitor instances which were deleted prior to using the pw group add_monitor command, then after completion of the pw group add_monitor command, the deleted monitor instances are also added to the group.
