In TrueSight Operations Management - Monitoring Studio, all objects are identified with a unique ID. When configuring Monitoring Studio using a third-party tool, it is important to have a clear understanding of the ID formats.
There are four different ID formats which vary according to the type of objects:
Group ID
The Group ID is the internal identifier as entered when configuring the Monitor Group Settings in the Monitoring Studio Configuration panel. It is referred to as <groupID>.
Host ID
The Host ID is referred to as <hostID> and always follows this format: <groupID>@<hostname> where:
| • | <groupID> is the Internal ID as entered when configuring the Group Settings. |
| • | <hostname> is the Hostname/IP address/FQDN of the host on which the technology you wish to monitor is running. |
Monitor ID
For all Monitors attached to a Host, the Monitor ID format is as follows: <groupID>@<hostID>:<monitorType>:<monitorID> where:
| • | <groupID> is the Internal ID as entered when configuring the Monitor Group Settings. |
| • | <hostID> is the <groupID>@<hostname> (Hostname/IP address/FQDN). |
| • | <monitorType> is the type of Monitor (Command Line, Web Request, Folder, Process, etc.). |
| • | <monitorID> is the internal ID as entered when configuring the Monitor Settings. |
Example
If you configure a File Monitor with the ID "myFile" under the Host "myHost" which belongs to the Group "myGroup", the complete ID of the instance of the File monitoring type will be: myGroup@myHost:File:myFile
|
Monitor Children ID
For String Search and Numeric Value Extraction tools, the Monitor Children ID format is as follows: <parentID>:<monitorType>:<monitorID> where:
| • | <parentID> is the <groupID>@<hostID>:<monitorType>:<monitorID>. |
| • | <monitorType> is the type of Monitor: String Search or Numeric Value Extraction. |
| • | <monitorID> is the internal ID as entered when configuring the Monitor Settings. |
Example
If you configure a String Search Monitor with the ID "myStringSearch" under the File "myFile" which belongs to the Host "myHost" which itself belongs to the Group "myGroup", the complete ID of the instance of the String Search monitoring type will be: myGroup@myHost:File:myFile:StringSearch:myStringSearch
