Cabletron SPECTRUM Appendix 5: Editing Model Types for SPECTRUM
1. Stop SpectroSERVER.
To edit models in SPECTRUM, you will need to stop SpectroSERVER.
Using the SPECTRUM Control Panel, stop the SpectroSERVER by selecting
Stop SERVER
. Select
OK
to confirm that
you want to shut the server down. The server is stopped when messages similar to the following appear in the message
window of the Control Panel
Closing /usr/spectrum/SS/SpectroSERVER database...
/usr/spectrum/SS/SpectroSERVER database has successfully shut down.
and the Status field is set to Inactive.
2. Check the variables in the IT Service Vision table for that model type.
To determine which attributes have been defined for a particular model type (in the IT Service Vision table that
corresponds to that model type), from the IT Service Vision main window follow this path:
Administration ->Explore Tables/Variables -> Collector: Selected -> SPECTRUM -> OK -> select
the table of interest -> Variables -> OK
Follow this path
select the variable of interest -> click right mouse button -> View Variable Properties
Check that the Kept status is Yes for any variable whose data you want to analyze. If it is not, change it to Yes. If there
are attributes that you want to keep in your PDB that do not appear in the IT Service Vision supplied table definition,
you will need to add a variable to your PDB for that attribute.
3. Start the SPECTRUM Model Type editor.
After you stop the server, from the SPECTRUM Control Panel start the Model Type Editor by selecting
Configure -> Model Type Editor
4. Select the model type to be changed.
To select the model type to be changed, in the editor select
File -> File Model Type...
SPECTRUM displays the Find Model Type window.
Type the model type name (or a string that contains part of the name of the model type) in the Name or Handle field
and then select Apply. SPECTRUM displays a list of all model types that contain a match to the string that you entered.
Select the correct model type name from the list and then select OK.
5. List the attributes for this model type.
Follow this path:
File -> Examine Attributes
SPECTRUM displays the Attribute View window. The window lists all available attributes for this model type.
6. Select an attribute whose logging status you want to change, and change it.
