Configuration information

Infrastructure Management collects performance data from several heterogeneous systems such as Network, Application, Database, and user-defined or custom systems. Defining these heterogeneous systems requires capturing system-specific configuration information. This configuration information resides in various tables and is used during data collection.

To simplify access to configuration information, a single table (INSTANCEINFO_CFG) is defined that stores information of all monitor type instances which include application, SNMP, and monitors created by users through the Monitor Wizard, and meta API.

Note

SAP SQL Anywhere table view names mostly are self-explanatory; however, Oracle table view names can be cryptic. For example, some SAP SQL Anywhere table view names are:
PATROLNT_OS_NT_SYSTEM_CFG_VIEW
_PATROLUNIX_OS_PROCESS_CFG_VIEW
Equivalent Oracle table view names are:
_PATROLNT20_CFG_VIEW
_PATROLUNI_1_CFG_VIEW
To obtain a full table view name for Oracle, query the ADAPTER_TABLENAME_MAP table.
For example :
SQL>select TABLENAME from ADAPTER_TABLENAME_MAP where TRUNC_TABLENAME='_PATROLNT20';
returns
SQL>_PATROLNT_OS_NT_SYSTEM
Appending _CFG_VIEW provides you with the full name of the table view: _PATROL_NT_OS_NT_SYSTEM_CFG_VIEW

The following table shows the base table for all configuration dataviews for each monitor type that exists on Infrastructure Management Server

Configuration information

Column	Description
MOTYPEID	Monitor type ID. This value is internal and fixed.
MOINSTID	Monitor instance ID. This is a unique number generated for each instance. The value is assigned by Infrastructure Management system during monitor creation. This value is internal and fixed. This number identifies all other data for each instance.
DEVICENAME	Name of the device entered when this instance is created using the TrueSight console or command line.
INSTANAME	Description of the monitor instance.
SOURCEIP	IP address of the device from where the performance data is being collected.
TARGETIP	IP address of the device on which this instance is running.
CONFIGVALUES	All configuration type of attributes of this monitor type that can be displayed. This is organized in the name=value pairs format separated by ';'. Parse this value to retrieve the associated value for each attribute.

The schema for this table is created at the time of product installation. Therefore, if custom monitors such as MetaAPI, SDK, and Monitor Wizards are created at run-time, you need to regenerate the schema to include these monitors. Because this is a database table and not a view generated from an existing table, values in this table are populated as part of daily jobs. The default run-time for daily jobs is 3.30 A.M.

Configuration dataviews named as <tablename prefix>_CFG_VIEW are created for each monitor type using the values in this table.

Each of these Config dataviews contains the following information:

MOINSTID	Monitor instance ID. This is a unique number generated for each instance. The value is assigned by Infrastructure Management system during monitor creation. This value is internal and fixed. This number identifies all other data for each instance.
DEVICENAME	Name of the device entered when this instance is created using the Administration Console or command line.
INSTANAME	Description of the monitor instance.
SOURCEIP	IP address of the device from where performance data is being collected.
TARGETIP	IP address of the device on which this instance is running.
CONFIGATTRIBUTE NAMES	All configuration attributes with their values that can be displayed for this monitor type.
