Hi Laurent,

I've forwarded your comment to the powers that be....

thanks, Steve

Hi Laurent,

thanks, and to you....

rgds, Steve

Please don't shoot the messenger.....

The P for Windows 3.1.10 solution that will contain PKM EM 2.7.00 has been delayed a few more days so that we can get a couple of important fixes into the Windows OS KM.

Current scheduled date for GA is now 11th April.

Does anyone know the format for using wildcards in Instances.  I am trying to set the thresholds for specific filesystems all starting with the same name and it is not working.

(/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/FILESYSTEM/db-npower_tables*/FSCapacity":REPLACE:"1,1 0 100 0 0 0,1 98 99 0 0 1,1 99 100 0 0 2)

Hello,

BMC has just published more information about the wildcards in the Release Notes of the latest version, namely 2.7.05.
Here are some details :
"When PATROL KM for Event Management attempts to find a match for an instance name listed in a rule, the KM uses the following order:
1. instance name (sid)
2. wildcard
   A. — apply to all except for specific instances
   B. . — apply to all but those containing a character or character set specified in another wildcard
   C. h where h is a variable representing any character or set of characters — apply to all containing the designated character set
3. __ANYINST__"
Please note that the case B starts with a point before the '{' character.
Additionally, here are some rule examples :
"Rule 1 /AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_CPU/CPU_0/CPUprcrProcessorTimePercent
Rule 2 /AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_CPU/__ANYINST__/CPUprcrProcessorTimePercent
Rule 3 /AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_CPU/{re:*}2/CPUprcrProcessorTimePercent
Rule 4 /AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_CPU//CPUprcrProcessorTimePercent
Rule 5 /AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_CPU/./CPUprcrProcessorTimePercent"
So, for your case, that would give the following :

/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/FILESYSTEM/db-npower_tables{re:*}/FSCapacity

Regs,

Thanks for the information. I found the documentation you are refering too. But I still can not seem to get it to work. I tried as your suggested.
/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/FILESYSTEM/db-npower_tables/FSCapacity
I tried
/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/FILESYSTEM/db-npower_tables/FSCapacity
/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/FILESYSTEM/db/FSCapacity

Non worked.

Hi,

Make sure you also have the following defined:

/AS/EVENTSPRING/processWildCards=1

rgds, Steve

Hello, does anyone know when this was fixed and in what release. We monitor a Log using the log km, it gets cycled ie.

log01.txt
log02.txt
log03.txt etc

We want the thresholds on the LogFileSize to remain the same, when patrol discovers the new latest log it doesn't keep the thresholds. If we used the __ANYINST__ option it would put the threshold on all new logs - not desired.

We need a ruleset like:

/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/LOGMON/Test_Logfile*/LOGFileSize

Hi there i'm trying to use wildcards for the first time. My two rules so far are:

/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_LOGICAL_DISKS/&#123;re&#58;*&#125;mb2/LDldFreeSpacePercent<br />/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/NT_LOGICAL_DISKS/__ANYINST__/LDldFreeSpacePercent

but the agent is going strait to the anyinst rule.

I have my /AS/EVENTSPRING/processWildCards=1

Any one got any clues as to where i'm going wrong?

Hi,

I do have the same problem with VSM KM:

"/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/VSM_VM/NCESATURNV/Status" = { REPLACE = "1,1 0 3 0 0 2,1 2 2 0 0 1,1 3 3 0 0 2" },
"/AS/EVENTSPRING/PARAM_SETTINGS/THRESHOLDS/VSM_VM/__ANYINST__/Status" = { REPLACE = "1,0 0 0 0 0 0,0 0 0 0 0 0,0 0 0 0 0 0" }

and I have alos set /AS/EVENTSPRING/processWildCards=1

but the rule seem to take only the __ANYINST__ into account....

If someone knows what's wrong....or I'll open an incident to BMC...

Thanks

Denis

As Stuart mentionned, the LOG KM can use wildcards in file definition. In this situation, Patrol will take care of the more recent file matching the wildcard.

Example taken from an agent out there :
"/PMG/CONFIG/LogAppli_Database__/actName" = { REPLACE = "/applis/tlcp/valid/log/LOG.????" },


Sorry for being off-topic.
