You can find the version number of a CIM extension:

Stopping the CIM Extension

To stop the CIM extension, enter the following at the command prompt in the /opt/APPQcime/tools directory, where /opt is the directory into which you installed the CIM extension:

# ./stop

Keep in mind the following:

You must have root privileges to stop the CIM extension.

When you stop the CIM extension, the management server is unable to gather information about this host.

Rolling Over the Logs

The logging information for the CIM extension is contained primarily in the cxws.log file, created by default in the <Installation_directory>/tools directory. The cxws.log file rolls over once it becomes more than 100 MB. The information in cxws.log is moved to cxws.log.1.

When the logs roll over again, cxws.log.1 is renamed to cxws.log.2 and the information that is in cxws.log is moved to cxws.log.1. The numbering for the files continues sequentially, with there being a maximum of three backup logs, as follows:

cxws.log - contains the latest logging information

cxws.log.1 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log

cxws.log.2 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log.1

cxws.log.3 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log.2
