collectorFinder.collectorRules database table

The collectorFinder.collectorRules database table configures the operation of the Collector finder.

Description

You can override some of the settings for particular collectors in the collectorFinder.configuration table. The collectorRules table can contain multiple records.

Schema

The collectorFinder.collectorRules database table schema is described in the following table:

Table 1. collectorFinder.collectorRules database table schema
Column name	Constraints	Data type	Description
`m_HelperType`		Text	The Helper type to be used by the Collector Finder. For a Java collector, this field has the constraint NOT NULL and the value must be `Java`. For a Perl collector, If this field is optional.
`m_Host`		Text	The host address on which the collector is running. This field is NOT NULL only if the collector is running on a different host to Network Manager. This field may be configured for both a discovery and a rediscovery.
`m_Port`	PRIMARY KEY NOT NULL	Text	The port on which the collector is listening. If the collector is running on the same host as Network Manager, then this is a Network Manager port. This field may be configured for both a discovery and a rediscovery.
`m_RequestType`		Integer	Flag denoting which topology data to download from the data source. This flag works together with the m_Address and m_NetMask fields. The flag takes the following values: 0: Rediscover all devices. All devices retrieved by the collector are discovered. The m_Address and m_NetMask fields are ignored. 1: Rediscover single device. Only one of the devices retrieved by the collector is discovered. The m_Address field specifies the device and the m_NetMask fields is ignored. 2: Rediscover subnet. One of the subnets retrieved by the collector is discovered. The m_Address field specifies the subnet and the m_NetMask field specifies the subnet mask. This field is configured for a rediscovery only.
`m_DataSourceId`		Integer	Limits rediscovery to a single data source supported by the collector. This field is rarely used as a collector usually only supports a single data source. This field is configured for a rediscovery only.
`m_Address`		Text	Used in conjunction with the m_RequestType and m_NetMask fields when specifying a device or subnet to rediscover. See the entry for m_RequestType for more information. This field is configured for a rediscovery only.
`m_NetMask`		Text	Used in conjunction with the m_RequestType and m_Address fields when specifying a device or subnet to rediscover. See the entry for m_RequestType for more information. This field is configured for a rediscovery only.
`m_NumRetries`		Integer	Number of retries to issue an RPC XML request to the collector. Setting this field is optional. If set, this field overrides the default specified in the collectorFinder.configuration table. This field may be configured for both a discovery and a rediscovery.
