Configure the iStrobe plug-in

The procedures below assume that you have installed the iStrobe plug-in.

Follow the procedure below to specify the server where iStrobe is installed so that the iStrobe plug-in will know which server to connect to.

To specify preferences for the iStrobe plug-in

Start the Eclipse-based environment in which the iStrobe plug-in is installed and select Window > Preferences. The Preferences dialog box appears.
Select BMC > iStrobe (or, in Eclipse or RDz, select Preference > iStrobe). The iStrobe - Server Definitions pane appears.
Click Add. The iStrobe: Add Server Definition dialog box appears.
In the Protocol field, choose either http or https.
In the Host field, enter the name of the server where iStrobe is installed.
In the Port field, enter the port number for the server where iStrobe is installed.
Optionally, change the name of the iStrobe web application that appears in the Website field. This name is used in the URL that is used to access iStrobe. By default, it is set to istrobe during iStrobe installation.
In the Description field, enter a descriptive name for the iStrobe server. This is the name you will select from the BMC menu to launch iStrobe.
Click OK. The server you defined appears in the iStrobe - Server Definitions list on the Preferences dialog box.
Repeat steps 3 through 9 to add additional server definitions if desired.
