3.3.1 Creating an Agents tree

1. Export the template of the Agents tree definition file.

   To export the template file, execute the jpcconf agttree export with the -template option specified. For example:

   jpcconf agttree export -template -f agttree_def.xml

2. Edit the exported Agents tree definition file.

   For details on the format of the Agents tree definition file, see the chapter on commands in the manual JP1/Performance Management Reference.

   The following is an example of the contents of an Agent tree definition file:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <!DOCTYPE tree SYSTEM "agttree_param.dtd">
    
   <tree owner="pfm-user">
       <folder name="Test Company">
           <folder name="Business Department">
               <agent name="7A1inst_BD[tHOST_01@host_111]"/>
           </folder>
           <folder name="Development Department">
               <agent name="7A1inst_DD[tHOST_02@host_111]"/>
               <agent name="7A1inst_DD[tHOST_03@host_111]"/>
           </folder>
           <agent name="TA1host_111"/>
       </folder>
       <agent name="TA1host_999"/>
   </tree>

3. Import the Agents tree definition file.

   Use the jpcconf agttree import command to import the Agents tree definition file. For example:

   jpcconf agttree import -f agttree_def.xml

   If you want to specify an agent not recognized by Performance Management (an agent that does not appear in the Products tree), specify the -nocheck option. If you do not specify the -nocheck option, processing stops when Performance Management encounters an agent it does not recognize.

   In a logical host environment, specify the logical host name in the -lhost option.

The Agents tree you created appears in the Agents window when you refresh the window contents or you log off from PFM - Web Console and log on again.
