Modify the data import settings so that
each of your servers imports the data only from a specific group of computers. The servers choose
only those computers that meet the specified criteria, for example, that are marked with a value
LMT1, but not LMT2. Other computers are omitted
during the import.
About this task
The main element that decides which computers report to which server is the custom analysis
that you created to retrieve some information about your computers, in this case specific values
like LMT1 or LMT2. The server checks the analysis
results to verify values that are attached to your computers. If a computer has a value that meets
the server criteria, then data from this computer is imported. Otherwise, the computer is
discarded.
Procedure
- Go to
installation_directory/wlp/usr/servers/server1/config.
- Edit the etl_settings.yml file and specify the following properties
and values.
Important: Ensure that each value is specified in a single line and that the file does
not contain empty lines.
- scoped_etl_enabled: 1
- Specifies whether a scoped data import should be enabled. If set to 0, data
from all computers is imported.
- scoped_etl_site_name: ActionSite
- Specifies the name of the Fixlet site that contains your custom analysis.
ActionSite stands for Master Action Site.
- scoped_etl_site_is_custom: false
- Specifies whether the Fixlet site is a custom site.
- scoped_etl_analysis_name: Instance Assignment
- Specifies the name of your custom analysis.
- scoped_etl_analysis_property_id: 1
- Specifies the ID of the analysis property Instance. If you added just one
property, it has the ID of 1. However, you can check it by exporting the analysis to a
bes file and opening it in a text editor.
- scoped_etl_based_on: MATCH
- Specifies conditions of a scoped data import. In this case, you can enter any value that is
different from the default
SITE_URL_FOR_SITE_NAME. The default value would import
data from all computers in a Fixlet site.
- scoped_etl_resultstext_match: LMT1%
- Specifies the value based on which the server selects its computers. Specify LMT1 for one server, and LMT2 for another. A value returned by
the analysis might include a space or a new line at the end. Enter a percent sign (%) after the
value to include such occurrences instead of discarding a computer.
- scoped_etl_overwrite_on_migration: false
- Specifies whether to overwrite these settings with default ones after an upgrade or migration.
- Restart the server.
- Run a data import.
Results
You modified the servers to import data only from specific computers. You can open the
Computers report to verify that only chosen computers are shown.
