Symptoms

Add a new Polling Group to the Smarts IP Configuration Manager via import file and assign it to a specific domain

Modifying P&T groups via Admin interface could be time consuming.  In some cases it is preferred to make modifications via import file

Resolution

Follow the steps below to add or modify P&T groups in Configuation Manager via an import file.  This example shows how to add Switches-East polling group and assign it only to AM-PM-2 domain.

Export current P&T groups from the Configuration Manager
#cd <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin
#

./sm_perl sm_settings.pl -s INCHARGE-CM --export=cm_goups

The output will be written to <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/local/logs/cm_groups
This file contains configuration of all P&T groups and settings.
Each group definition starts with "config <group name>" line
Group definitions are separated from each other by blank lines. They are also organized by category.
See Notes for all categories.

Edit  <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/local/logs/cm_groups file

Go to polling category ICIM_UnitaryComputerSystem Polling Groups

Add the new group definition under this line.  Bellow this line you will see definitions for all Polling groups applicable to Unitary Computer systems (Routers, Switches, etc).  The new definition can be added immediately after the category line, or between other definitions, as long as it is above the next category line.

To create a new group definition you can either copy and paste an existing group in cm_goups and modify it. Alternatively you can run sm_settings.pl against a domain that is not under Configuration Manager control yet and contains the group definition and copy/paste it into the Configuration Manager cm_groups file.
./sm_perl sm_settings.pl -s AM-PM --export=am-pm_groups

Once the group definition is created you can also assign the domain or multiple domains that group should be applied to.  The general syntax is config <Group Name>: DM1|DM2

Save cm_groups file

Import the new group definitions
#cd <BASEDIR>/IP/smarts/bin
# ./sm_perl sm_settings.pl -s INCHARGE-CM --import=cm_goups
If a domain name specified in a group definition is not configured as a target for Configuration Manager, this domain will be added as part of the import. The settings for the newly added domains will need to be verified and then pushed manually.
