Synopsis
A nice feature which isn’t publicized too much in ITM for Linux and Unix agents is the ping capability.
They’re refrerred to as “Host Availability” for Linux and “Ping Attributes” for Unix
Both will accept an input file containing a list of servers to “ping”, and both will return status and response time.
Enabling the ping hosts file
Linux
$CANDLEHOME/config/lz.ini: KLZ_PINGHOSTLIST=<path_to_list>
# e.g. KLZ_PINGHOSTLIST=$CANDLEHOME/config/my_hostlist
# Add this to the lz.config if you want to avoid having to reconfig the agent
Unix
$CANDLEHOME/config/ux.ini: KUX_PINGHOSTLIST=<path_to_list>
# e.g. KUX_PINGHOSTLIST=$CANDLEHOME/config/my_hostlist
# Add this to the lz.config if you want to avoid having to reconfig the agent
Extra feature difference
One minor, but important, difference is that the Linux component will only ping servers in the list, while the Unix component has the additional feature using a situation to ping any target host from any managed system.
This makes every managed system (agent) a ping source to target critical servers.
Attribute Group: UNIX Ping
Situation Definitions: System_Name == $NODE$, Target_Host == webserver1

ITM 6.2 FP1 contains several new and changed T/EC class changes, ranging from new classes, new slots, and only ONE new slot (omnux_value replacing kux_value).
**I have not seen an ITM event containing kux_value nor omnux_value, but to be safe, I added the old ‘kux_value’ slot to the kux.baroc file.
TOTAL: 22 baroc files
