HP Netsight manual Management Module, Management Arguments

Batch Customization via AddTool, AddImage, and AddDevType

Topologies

This field specifies the Topology type or types which apply to the device defined by your new node class. You must select Topology images which have already been defined, and you must be sure to specify their names using the correct case. To specify multiple topology images, separate the values with commas; for a file in CSV format, enclose the entire attribute value in double quotes.

For more information on creating new model, enterprise, class, and topology images, see

TIP Using the AddImage Utility, page A-5; for more information on how to view existing images, see Editing Node Class Properties in Chapter 4, List Views.

Management Module

Use this parameter to specify the application that will be launched for your new node class when any one of the Manage options is selected. If the executable you specify is located with the executables (in the \NetSight Element Manager x.x\bin directory), you need only specify the executable name. If it is located in another directory, be sure to specify the full path.

Management Arguments

You can use this optional parameter to specify any arguments or options that should be passed to the specified command. You should specify any necessary switches in the format required by the application you want to add; if required or allowed, you can also add a specific argument string, or one or more of several available substitutions:

%I	inserts the IP address of the selected node
%C	inserts Community Name associated with the selected node
%O	if a node is selected, inserts its sysOID
%N	if a node is selected, inserts its assigned name. Note that, for a device,
	this will be either the sysName value set at the device, or the Name
	value set via the node’s Properties window.
%H	inserts the parent window identifier.

%%inserts a single percent sign

Working Directory

Use this optional parameter to specify the location of any secondary files that might be needed by the executable, if those files are not located in the same directory as the executable itself. If you choose not to specify a working directory, the directory in which the executable resides will be used by default.

Description

Use this optional parameter to provide a description of the device represented by your new node class. This description will be displayed by default in the Properties window for devices represented by your new node class.
