  SessionSensor-9.1.146.78-[22] DEBUG session.SshSessionClient -
  Command [LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8;LANG=en_US.UTF-8;export LANG
  LC_ALL;ifconfig -a] failed in session
  ssh2:/HostAuthcom.collation.platform.security.auth.HostAuth[tadd
  mcfm][XXXXX]/null@9.1.146.78: exit status 127 (no stdout)
  
  Starting with CentOS v7, the ifconfig command has been replaced
  with the ip command.
  
  
  Solution:
  Externalize the ifconfig command to allow user to define it via
  collation properties. Then we can replace ifconfig with the
  now used ip command.
