Cisco Support Tools 1.0 User Guide About Using Cisco Web Utilities from a Command Line 120
Selecting a System to Use
When run from a command line, unless otherwise specified, Cisco Web utilities
assume that the local machine is both:
A) The application server (the machine from which the utility should be run), and
B) The target system (the machine to be queried by the utility).
For example, to run the System Interrogate utility on the local machine, and to
target its query at that same machine, enter:
>interrogate /query
Selecting a Different Target System
If desired, you can use the /system option to specify a different machine as the
target system of a command. The /system option can only be used when the
application server is a Support Tools Server; You cannot target a remote system
when using a node as your application server--node can only target themselves.
For example, to target a System Interrogate query at a machine named logger_b,
enter:
>interrogate
>system logger_a
>query
In the example above, the System Interrogate utility is being run locally (from a
Support Tools Server) and targeted at a node named logger_b.
Note: This command is not available for the Log Group and Log Collection utilities.
In those utilities, the target system specification is built into the log group(s) being
used in the request.
Selecting a Different Application Server
If desired, you can run a utility remotely from a Support Tools Server. For example,
to run the System Interrogate utility from a Support Tools Server named
appserver_a, enter:
>interrogate st_server_a
>system logger_a
>query
In the example above, the System Interrogate utility is being run remotely from a
Support Tools Server named st_server_a and targeted at a node named logger_b.
