UIM - url_response - use robot name for device identification

Products

• DX Unified Infrastructure Management (Nimsoft / UIM)

Issue/Introduction

We would like alarms and metrics for url_response probe to use robot name for device identification. 

How can we achieve this?

Environment

• Release: 20.3 or igher
• Component: UIM LOGMON
• url_response v4.47

Cause

• Probe limitation. url_response 4.47 and earlier do not support this option. 

Resolution

A url_response build with an enhanced key is available that includes this option. 

With url_response 4.47_T1, the probe supports a new key, if this key is enabled, the metrics and alarm from the profile will have the robot dev_id. 

Instructions:

1. Deactivate the url_response

2. Deploy the url_response probe version 4.47_T1

3. Open Raw configure

4. Add the following key to the setup section: 

useRobotNameForDeviceIdentification = yes

 

After enabling this key the ci_metric_id sent by the probe will be the one from the robot.

NOTE:

Please ensure you only Activate useRobotNameForDeviceIdentifcation.

For this key to work, you have to deactivate the following keys:

useHostNameForDeviceIdentification

and

UseNoHostNameResolve

These keys should be set to no.
