This section how to manage threshold with the command line tools.
4-1 Threshold Command Line Interface
OVNPM provides the macro written to address the need for small and efficient command line utilities to export
threshold in text file or import thresholds from a text file. In the OVNPM environment, the thresholds are defined
using the Display Agent GUI. Offering a command line configuration tool allows the user to build thresholds from
a TACL script. For example, a threshold template can be defined and applied on a large number of objects.
With minor modifications, the threshold text file can be imported on several nodes. Exporting the thresholds can
also serve as a backup procedure.
4-1-1 Threshold Configuration Macro
4-1-1-1 Locking Threshold Configuration
The SV_THR_LOCK macro prevents threshold modification from the Display Agent. Once this macro is executed,
the Display Agent cannot change the threshold configuration. To remove the lock, execute the
SV_THR_UNCLOCK macro.
Both SV_THR_LOCK and SV_THR_UNLOCK macros have no argument.
NOTE:
SV_THR_LOCK forbids access to the Display Agent only without affecting the SV_THR_EXPORT and
SV_THR_IMPORT macros.
4-1-1-2 Exporting Threshold Configuration
The SV_THR_EXPORT macro exports threshold configuration to a text file.
Syntax: SV_THR_EXPORT [<txtFile>]
Where, <textfile> is an optional argument defining the edit file containing the threshold definitions.
If the argument <textfile> is omitted, SV_THR_EXPORT creates USERTHR text file in the OVNPM configuration
subvolume.
4-1-1-3 Importing Threshold Configurations
The SV_THR_IMPORT macro imports threshold definition into the OVNPM configuration.
Syntax: SV_THR_IMPORT [<txtFile>]
If the argument <txtFile> is omitted, SV_THR_IMPORT reads threshold definitions from the USERTHR text file in the
OVNPM configuration subvolume.
NOTE:
In the current version, SV_THR_IMPORT does not support the APPEND mode and the old thresholds in
the configuration are deleted. Onl
y imported thresholds are available.
