Using the Rsmconf.exe utility to configure CO-logmon


An alternative to remotely configuring the CO-logmon program through the BMC Defender Server web interface is to use the rsmconf.exe program, which is included in the BMC Defender Server (within the system directory).

This utility enables you to perform remote configuration at a command line, possibly within a batch file. The rsmconf.exe program accepts the following command-line arguments:

Argument

Description

rsmconf -download ipaddr passkey filename

These command options download the remote configuration file from the specified IP address, using the specified passkey. The resulting configuration data is placed in the specified file.

rsmconf -upload ipaddr passkey filename

These command options upload the remote configuration file to the specified IP address, using the specified passkey. The data residing in the specified file is uploaded.

rsmconf -check filename

These command options check the specified file for errors. (This check is also performed when you use the -upload option.) This permits you to check configuration data that was downloaded previously. No passkey or IP address is specified or required.

If ListenAuthMode of the CO-logmon process is set to a value of 1 or 3, rsmconf.exe can execute only on the platform that DestinationAddress specifies. If ListenAuthMode set to 2 or 3, the passkey must be correctly specified. Otherwise, it is ignored.

The rsmconf.exe program is especially useful in performing batch configure operations, where the command is repeated multiple times within a UNIX .bat file (for example, to reconfigure on many different platforms).
