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).

Table 1. Properties and command line options
Property name	Command line option	Description
ConnectionTimeout `integer`	-connectiontimeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) the probe waits without response before considering a connection unsuccessful. The default is 10.
EAIHeartbeat Interval `integer`	-eaiheartbeat interval `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) within which the probe expects to receive a heartbeat message if it has received no alarms. The default is 70.
EAIHeartbeat Timeout `integer`	-eaiheartbeat timeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) within which the probe expects to receive the first heartbeat message from the interface. The default is 5.
EAIRestartOnIdle Timeout `integer`	-eairestartonidle timeout `integer`	Use this property to indicate the number of successive heartbeats that the probe fails to receive from the interface before exiting: 0: The probe receives unlimited heartbeats. 1: The probe receives no heartbeats. >1: The number of heartbeats (minus 1) that the probe receives. The default is 1.
EAIResyncInterval `integer`	-eairesyncinterval `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits before sending a resynchronization request. The default is 86400. Note: If this property is set to 0, the probe never sends a resynchronization request.
EAITargetFailover `integer`	-eaitargetfailover `integer`	Use this property to specify whether the probe attempts to connect to the failover server if the number of missed heartbeats specified by the EAIRestartOnIdleTimeout is exceeded: 0: The probe never attempts to connect a failover server. 1: The probe attempts to connect to the failover server if the primary server becomes idle and the EAIRestartOnIdleTimeout property is set to a value greater than 0. The default is 1.
EAITargetFailover Host `string`	-eaitargetfailover hostname `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the failover host to which the probe connects if the Failover property is set to 1. The default is "".
EAITargetFailover Port `integer`	-eaitargetfailover portnumber `integer`	Use this property to specify the port to which the probe connects on the remote server if the Failover property is set to 1. The default is 30005.
HashTableSize `integer`	-hashtablesize `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum size of the hash table that the probe uses to locate entries in the lookup tables. The default is 5013.
HostName `string`	-host `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the host to which the probe connects. The default is localhost.
PauseTime `integer`	-pausetime `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits before attempting to reconnect to the system. The default is 10.
PortNumber `integer`	-portnumber `integer`	Use this property to specify the port to which the probe connects on the remote server. The default is 30005.
