In Monitoring Studio KM for PATROL, 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 Group Settings. It is referred to as <groupID>
Group ID - Example
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 |
Host ID - Example
Monitor ID
For all Monitors added from the Host using KM Commands > New > Monitor... the Monitor ID format is as follows: <groupID>@<hostID>:<monitorType>:<monitorID> where:
| • | <groupID> is the Internal ID as entered when configuring the 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 create a File Monitor with ID "myFile" under the Host "myHost" which belongs to Group "myGroup", the complete ID of the File Monitoring would be: myGroup@myHost:File:myFile
|
Monitor ID - Example
Monitor Children ID
For all Monitors added from another Monitor using KM Commands > New > (String Search, Numeric Value Extraction, Text Pre-Processing, and Dynamic Object Builder), 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, Numeric Value Extraction, Text Pre-Processing, and Dynamic Object Builder) |
| • | <monitorID> is the internal ID as entered when configuring the Monitor Settings |
Example
If you create a String Search Monitor with ID "myStringSearch" under the File "myFile" which belongs to the Host "myHost" which itself belongs to the Group "myGroup", the complete ID of the String Search Monitoring would be: myGroup@myHost:File:myFile:StringSearch:myStringSearch
