Need to deploy multiple probe package updates using logmon probe package

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

!logmon_AIX_* package - I need to modify some sections and remove others.

a) Modify the 'Unknown' watcher and b) Add the 'SAN PATH Failure' section as described. Do NOT use a logmon.cfg, the file must be named logmon.cfx for the changes to be 'merged.' That's why we saw sections get wiped out yesterday. I tested this several times by editing the Unknown watcher regex to see if it gets updated and by deleting the SAN PATH Failure watcher, to make sure it gets re-added.

Environment

Release : 9.2.0

Component : UIM LOGMON

Resolution

Here is the working logmon.cfx.

Package requirements:

a) Modifies 'Unknown' watcher section
b) Adds 'SAN PATH Failure' section

Do NOT use a logmon.cfg, the file must be named logmon.cfx for the changes to be 'merged.' Otherwise you might see config sections get wiped out.
