How Do I Set The Parent Device Of A Device?
Hello, I hope someone can assist with the following. I am using Device Component Mapping to create a hierarchical/tree structure of devices, but SL seems to assign the Parent Device attribute randomly for each device created, and I need to be able to set the Parent Device correctly, so that the hierarchical structure is correct. I have data that contain a set of locations that correspond to the tree structure. The structure has this concept: One Country -> Many Cities -> Many Buildings -> Many Rooms. Each data record has an id, a name, a parent id and a type. The data is split into cities, buildings and rooms. For example, a city record might be as follows: id: CITYPARIS, name: Paris, parent id: CTRYFRANCE, type: city. A building record might be as follows: id: BLDGMONTPARNASSE, name: Tour Montparnasse, parent id: CITYPARIS, type: building. And to complete the picture, a room record might be as follows: id: ROOMMEETING1, name: Meeting Room 1, parent id: BLDGMONTPARNASSE, type: room. When I create one of the 'tree' levels of devices (it could be city, or building, or room), in my Dynamic Application, the code snippet extracts cached data where the type is 'city', then passes the extracted data to the result handler, which populates the four collection fields: id, name, parent_id, type. The id field is set to be the Unique Identifier, the name field is set to be the Device Name, and the type field is set to be Class Identifier 1 (I've created device classes for each tree level, allows me to have funky icons to distinguish the devices visually). The DA then creates devices for each record found, and I see them appearing on the Device Manager screen. However, when I examine each device, the Parent Device that is set seems to be random. For example, three city devices created (Paris, Nantes, Poitiers) all were assigned a Parent Device of 'Paris', the name of one of the devices created, instead of using their own parent_id values. Is there a way to tell SL what the Parent Device for each device record should be, perhaps in the snippet or somewhere else? Can I use one of the field values extracted from the cached data (ideally, my parent_id) as the value for the Parent Device field? This is my first post here, so apologies if this is in the wrong place!Solved524Views1like14CommentsElevated Privileges for Python3 Libraries
We are stuck trying to recreate some of the metrics we collect in our current Python2 snippets using pipes. The specific example is 'ping', which required subprocesses, no longer allowed. We don't believe latency_ping,avail_ping from silo_tools will let us collect packet_count, packet_loss, avg_latencies, latencies that a library like ping3 allows. (used to calculate jitter and else) Some of the libraries seem to require raw sockets and/or elevated privileges. So our question is two fold. 1 - Can we import custom libraries such as Ping3? 2 - How do we use elevated privileges on the collectors, as some libraries require elevated priveleges? Thanks in advance, DanSolved591Views4likes12CommentsConfig push process Vs Appliance page config push force
Could you help me understand the background processes when I initiate a "Force Config Push" (e.g., by clicking the lightning bolt icon) vs what differs from the standard config push process?' What steps does the system execute during a "Force Config Push" to apply configuration changes to managed devices? If the configuration push process is disabled, will clicking "Force Config Push" still result in a complete and successful configuration update to the target device(s)?

I have 2 databases in an HA setup I see Enable Cluster Maintenance as one of the choices in coro_config can I select this on both database and be able to do VMWare snapshots before doing upgrades and the databases will be in a "non writable state?"125Views0likes8CommentsPlease anyone can help with DB2 HADR credentials - how to ?
Please as there is no documentation does anyone successfully use DB2 HADR powerpack ? For interconnection, do I need ssh + db2 credentials combination ? Should I define some DB2 credential and then mapped to SSH credential within new Soap credential ? how to map ? Or do I need only Soap with mapped ssh id header ? Thank you very much.178Views0likes8CommentsDevice configuration "key/value" pairs synchronization to ITSM
With Powerflow most data are pretty easy to sync from SL1 to ITSM/CMDB, in this case ServiceNow. But now we have requirement that we should sync cloud device tags from SL1 to SN. The data from Azure virtual server, using Azure PP, is shown on SL1 like below, multiple key/value rows per device. So those are not easily stored into Attributes. And if I have understood correctly, quite a lot of tags used in cloud. Any ideas how these could be synced with PF into ServiceNow?Solved404Views1like8CommentsDocumentation for creating custom credential types?
Hi, Is there some documentation available about how these custom credential types should be created and what different configuration options are available? Would be nice to have some documentation available where would be some instructions about different configuration possibilities available. For example what different type of fields I can create with this JSON configuration or how to configure regex validation for this specific field etc. Is there some documentation about this available or would it be possible to create one?Solved
