Configuring the collation.properties file

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

The following property specifies that the sensor uses sudo to elevate privileges when it runs the KVM virsh command:

  • com.collation.discover.agent.kvm.systemcommand.Linux=sudo
You can scope this property to a specific IP address, as in the following example:
com.collation.discover.agent.kvm.systemcommand.Linux.192.168.1.1=sudo

Specify the sudo option for an operating system only if it is required for all systems that use that operating system. Otherwise, specify the option only for the specific IP addresses where the sudo command is configured.

On the target systems that require the privilege escalation, configure the sudo command with the NOPASSWD option. Otherwise, the discovery hangs until the Agile Service Manager server times out.
