Running multiple probes

You can run multiple instances of the probe.

The following outlines the minimum configuration requirements to run multiple probes:

  1. Specify the Name property to a unique instance name, for example

    wineventlog_probe1

  2. Create a new version of the properties file, for example

    wineventlog_probe1.props

  3. Create a new version of the XML file, for example

    wineventlog_probe1.xml

  4. Specify the ConfigFile property in the properties file to direct the instance to the unique XML file, for example

    wineventlog_probe1.xml

  5. Change the RuleFiles property in the properties file to the default rules file, for example

    C:\\IBM\\Tivoli\\Netcool\\omnibus\\probes\\win32\\wineventlog.rules

Run each unique instance separately, using the following command, for example:

  • Instance 1 (wineventlog_probe1):

    nco_p_wineventlog.bat -propsfile ”C:\\IBM\\Tivoli\\Netcool\\omnibus\\probes\\win32\\wineventlog_probe1.props"

  • Instance 2 (wineventlog_probe2):

    nco_p_wineventlog.bat -propsfile ”C:\\IBM\\Tivoli\\Netcool\\omnibus\\probes\\win32\\wineventlog_probe2.props"
