Properties and command line options
You use properties to specify how the probe interacts with the device. You can override the default values by using the properties file or the command line options.
The following table describes the properties and command line options specific to this probe. For information about default properties and command line options, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide, (SC14-7530).
Property name |
Command line option |
Description |
|---|---|---|
| EMSBindName string | -emsbindname string | Use this property to specify the bind name that
the Kodiak EMS uses for the The default is KODIAK_EMS_ALARM_1. |
| EMSHeartBeat Interval integer | -emsheartbeatinterval integer |
Use this property to specify the interval (in seconds) that the probe waits between sending successive heartbeats to the Kodiak EMS. The default is 60. |
| EMSPortNumber integer | -emsportnumber integer | Use this property to specify the port number within the Kodiak EMS on which the probe listens for alerts. The default is 9090. |
FlushBufferInterval integer |
-flushbufferinterval integer |
Use this property to specify how often (in seconds) the probe flushes all alerts in the buffer to the ObjectServer. The default is 0 (which instructs the probe to never flush the alerts to the ObjectServer). |
ORBCharEncoding string |
-orbcharencoding string |
Use this property to specify the native character encoding set used by the Object Request Broker (ORB) for character data. The default is UTF8. |
| ORBDebug integer | -orbdebug integer | Use this property to specify the debug level used by the ORB. The default is 0. |
| ORBLocalHostName string | -orblocalhostname string |
Use this property to specify the name of the host machine on which the ORB is running. The probe writes this name to the IOR file that it then sends to the EMS. The default is "". |
| ORBLocalPort integer | -orblocalport integer | Use this property to specify the local port to which the Object Request Broker (ORB) listens. The default is 0 (ORB selects an available port at random). |
ORBWCharDefault string |
-orbwchardefault string |
Use this property to specify what wide character (wchar) set the IBM ORB uses when communicating with other ORBs that do not publish a wchar set. The default is UTF16. |
OSSId string |
-ossid string |
Use this property to specify the unique identifier that the probe instance will be known as within the Kodiak EMS. The default is nco_p_kodiak_ems_corba. |
ProbeMaxEventQueueSize integer |
-probemaxeventqueue size integer |
Use this property to specify the maximum queue size of the probe's internal event queue. The default is 10000 |
Resynch string |
-noresynch (This is equivalent to Resynch with a value of false.) -resynch (This is equivalent to Resynch with a value of true.) |
Use this property to specify whether the probe attempts to resynchronize existing alarms before retrieving new alarms. This property takes the following values: false : The probe does not attempt to resynchronize the alarms. true : The probe attempts to resynchronize the alarms. The default is false. |
| Retry integer | -retry integer | Use this property to specify the number of times the probe retries connecting to the host system before shutting down. The default is 1. |
| RetryWaitInterval integer | -retrywaitinterval integer |
Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) between successive retry attempts. The default is 0. |
| SleepDuration integer | -sleepduration integer | Use this property to specify the period (in seconds) the probe remains asleep until the arrival of a new alarm. The default is 5. |
| StandbyEMSIPAddr string | -standbyemsipaddr string |
Use this property to specify the IP address of the standby Kodiak EMS. The default is 127.0.0.1. |
| TargetEMSIPAddr string | -targetemsipaddr string |
Use this property to specify the IP address of the target Kodiak EMS. The default is 127.0.0.1. |
