Configuring the Generic Log File Probe or Generic Log File Java Probe and ObjectServer for ADVA FSP-NM

Additional changes are required to the Generic Log File Probe properties file and the ObjectServer for these additional rules to be used by the Generic Log File Probe.

Use the following steps to configure the Generic Log File Probe to use these additional rules:

  1. Ensure you have followed the instructions in Extracting the Probe Extension Package and configuring a probe to use the additional rules.

  2. Stop the Generic Log File Probe or Generic Log File Java Probe.

  3. Set the following property values in the Generic Log File Probe properties file:
    • RulesFile : '$PROBE_EXT/glf/ADVA_FSPNM/adva-FSPNM.glf.rules'
    • LogFileName : 'path_to_logfile/eventlog.csv'
    • LineSeparator : '\n'
    • ValueSeparator : '|'
    • IgnoreNullFields : 0
    • QuoteCharacter : 034

    The default properties file is $OMNIHOME/probes/arch/glf.props. Where arch is the operating system on which you have installed the Generic Log File Probe.

  4. To use the new Generic Log File Java Probe to parse the ADVA FSP-NM CSV NBI file, set the following probe properties in the $OMNIHOME/probes/<arch>/glf_java.props file:
    RulesFile               : '$PROBE_EXT/glf/ADVA_FSPNM/adva-FSPNM.glf.rules'
CleanStart              : 'false'
LogFileName             : 'path_to_logfile/eventlog.csv'
ParserElementDelimiter  : '\\|'
ParserIgnoreEmptyFields : 'false'
RecoveryFile            : 
                '/home/netcool/IBM/tivoli/netcool/omnibus/var/glf_java.reco'
  5. Create a new class in the ObjectServer with the following values:
    • Class Number = 40565
    • Class Description = ADVA FSP-NM

    Resynchronize the ObjectServer classes in your Netcool/OMNIbus Event List.

    Note: For more information about creating a new class see, Creating and editing classes in the Netcool/OMNIbus Administration Guide.

  6. Restart the Generic Log File Probe or Generic Log File Java Probe.
