Replicating Custom Attributes from a Regional Manager to the Global Manager

NNMienables you to set custom attributes on a regional manager and replicate those custom attributes to the global manager. For example, you can add custom attribute data to nodes on a regional manager and, after replicating that data to the global manager, use that data to enrich incidents for those nodes.

Note NNMi supports replication of custom attributes from a regional manager to a global manager for nodes and interfaces.

You can configure custom attribute replication in the NNMi console using the global manager’s Custom Attribute Replication tab (within Global Network Management configuration).

Note NNMi replicates custom attributes for unnumbered interfaces without any user configuration or input. See the NNMi help for more information.

In addition, you can use the nnmgnmattrcfg.ovpl command line interface tool to do the following:

  • Add attributes to be replicated
  • Remove attributes from being replicated
  • Add attributes to be replicated using a file for bulk operations
  • Remove attributes from being replicated using a file for bulk operations

See the nnmgnmattrcfg.ovpl reference page, or the Linux manpage, for more information.
