12.4 TEMPLATE ADMINISTRATORS OVO has one main administrator account, opc_adm that provides the ability to perform all necessary configuration. An OVO implementation may require additional users to assist with template development and customization. For example, specific applications require custom templates and may require a special set of skills and knowledge. Some examples of special skills include knowledge of applications and operating systems such as Oracle, Solaris, HP-UX, and SAP. Because these skill sets are diverse, many different administrators may be required to develop and maintain OVO templates for the corresponding applications.The template administrator account provides the ability to create and maintain templates and template groups. The template administrator cannot assign or distribute templates. Templates contain parameters for monitoring including the name and location of a file to be monitored, a polling interval, and a set of conditions that capture or suppress messages. Templates also determine what to do with the message source after it has been intercepted. A template dictates whether to suppress, prioritize, group, reformulate and correlate messages.NoteThere is a command-line interface that allows you to maintain nodes, node groups, and template assignments. You must have root privileges to execute this command. For example, if you want to assign and distribute the existing template named OBAgent to the node ob001, execute the following two commands: opcnode -assign_templ templ_name="OBAgent" templ_type=EC_TEMPLATE node_name=ob001 net_type=NETWORK_IP opcragt -distrib -templates -force ob001 |
