Issue/Introduction

Symptoms:


Does Smarts SAM display user-defined fields that were added to a class in Smarts IP using a dynamic model? If so, how?
Are user-defined fields that were added to a class in Smarts IP viewable in the Smarts SAM console?

Environment

VMware Smart Assurance - SMARTS

Resolution

If a modified Smarts IP model class such as a Router that has newly added attributes/fields is published to Smarts SAM, the Smarts SAM console should display those fields under the Polling & Threshold" screens, and users should be able to choose those fields to define "Matching Criteria" for a group. Smarts SAM console model processing
The Smarts SAM console displays/includes the entire published model public field for a Smarts IP model class that has newly added attributes/fields. The Smarts SAM console fetches attributes from the Domain model classes and displays them in the console interface. The Smarts SAM console uses all the properties for a class which the Smarts SAM server sends to it in the group Definition matching criteria. Polling and Thresholds uses all the properties it gets from the Smarts AM (or other underlying) domain.
