dpmce ceconfig -setnode Command--Set Intervals for a Host

The dpmce ceconfig -setnode command lets you set collection, recording, and retention intervals for a host.

This command has the following format:

dpmce ceconfig -setnode [-sc sc_url] -host_name hostname -recording_interval value -retention_sec value -retention_day value [-ws_user username -ws_password password][-locale iso629value]

-sc sc_url

(Optional) Defines the URL for the service controller host.

Example: https://hostname:port/...

hostname

Defines the fully qualified host where the service controller is installed.

Example: localhost.ca.com

port

Defines the listening port for the service controller server.

Example: 80

-host_name hostname

Defines the name of the host computer.

-recording_interval value

Defines the recording interval. This value is required if retention_day or retention_sec is not defined.

Unit: seconds

-retention_sec value

Defines how long to store the polled data in the Performance DB (polled data retention). Consider the number of managed systems, services, and metrics collected when defining this number. The stored polled data objects accumulate over time and can impact performance. If performance issues arise, decrease the number of retention days. This value is required if recording_interval or retention_day are not defined.

Unit: days

-retention_day value

Defines how long to store the average of the daily data in the Performance DB (daily rollup data retention). This value is required if recording_interval or retention_sec are not defined.

Unit: days

-ws_user username -ws_password password

(Optional) Specifies the credentials to use for the web service security check. If you do not include credentials, you are prompted to enter them. Avoid the prompt for credentials by setting up your own session using caaipsecurity.

-locale iso639value

(Optional) Specifies an IS0 639_3166 combination to override the default English output, for example, fr_FR for French. To use the locale of the command prompt, specify "native".

Example: Set Retention Interval for Host ServerZ

This example sets the retention interval for the host ServerZ.

dpmce ceconfig -setnode -host_name ServerZ -retention_day 300
