Ci - EDL Entity Property
Example
This example defines EDL properties of the CPU entity. These properties determine
how ASAP retrieves CPU entity information.
ENTITY CPU CI ASAP
COMMAND "CPU\*,RAW,TAB"
ENABLED YES
HELP "Central Processor Unit";
Entities have different characteristics. For example, the CI property is the Command
Interpreter used to retrieve information for that entity. The Command entity property
defines the command that is sent to the command interpreter to retrieve statistics for
that entity. The Enabled entity property indicates whether the entity is enabled by
default. The Help entity property defines the descriptive text that appears next to the
entity name on the Entity Tab of the ASAP Properties window.
