Configuring the collation.properties file entries

This topic lists the collation.properties file entries that the ping sensor uses.

com.collation.discover.agent.PingSensor.timeout=600000: This value specifies the time interval in milliseconds before a timeout occurs during a discovery.
com.collation.pingagent.ports=xx,yy,...: This property is not defined in the collation.properties file and must be manually added if needed. Valid values are non-negative numbers that represent ports for the ping sensor to use.
By default, the ping sensor uses port 22, and if it cannot make a connection to port 22, it uses port 135. To override the default set of the TCP ports that the ping sensor uses, add this property to the collation.properties file, and specify the TCP port numbers as a comma-separated list.
com.ibm.cdb.discover.enablePingDiscoveryOverUdp=false: If set to true, the sensor runs additional ping over UDP.; You can also access the property through the Product Console Platform Properties tab for customized discovery profiles.
Restriction: The scope restrictions for this property are not supported.
com.ibm.cdb.discover.pingUDPPorts=161: The valid values are non-negative numbers.; This property specifies which ports are to be scanned during the UDP ping discover. By default, the Ping sensor uses port 161. You can also access the property through the Product Console Platform Properties tab for customized discovery profiles.
Restriction: The scope restrictions for this property are not supported.
com.ibm.cdb.discover.SNMPPingWaitTime=2000: This property specifies the time value (in milliseconds) for the Ping sensor to wait for a single ping request sent via the SNMP protocol with a specific SNMP authentication credentials.
