The monitored-servers command line tool configures communication between the servers and the PingDataMetrics Server, then adds external server definitions to the PingDataMetrics Server based on the server's administrative data.
Before a server is added to the PingDataMetrics Server configuration, the system
determines whether communication needs configuring. If so, the cn=Monitoring
User root user account is created on the external
server.
Running the tool with the add-servers subcommand creates an external
server based on the information discovered about the remote server. It also uses the
information located in the cn=admin data entry to discover other
servers in the topology, which are also added to the configuration. The following
examples use the monitored-servers
tool.
Run the monitored-servers tool with the add-servers subcommand. Specify connection information for the PingDataMetrics Server, as well as connection information for any remote servers in use.
$ bin/monitored-servers add-servers \
--bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com \
--bindPassword password \
--monitoringUserBindPassword password \
--remoteServerHostname localhost \
--remoteServerPort 1389 \
--remoteServerBindPassword password
Use the --dry-run option to generate output detailing the work that
would be done in a live session without actually making changes to the server
configuration.
$ bin/monitored-servers add-servers \
--bindDN uid=admin,dc=example,dc=com \
--bindPassword password \
--monitoringUserBindPassword password \
--remoteServerHostname localhost \
--remoteServerPort 1389 \
--remoteServerBindPassword password
