Generating an Incident Configuration File with nnmincidentcfgdump.ovpl

The NNMi nnmincidentcfgdump.ovpl script provides a way for you to create or update an Incident Configuration to subsequently load into the NNMi database using the nnmincidentcfgload.ovpl script. The file is generated in a non-xml format.

You can edit the file using the format descriptions provided in the following directory:

Windows: %NnmInstallDir%/examples/nnm/incidentcfg

Linux: /opt/OV/examples/nnm/incidentcfg

To generate a file of your Incident Configurations, use the following example syntax:

nnmincidentcfgdump.ovpl -dump <file_name> -u <NNMiadminUsername> 
-p <NNMiadminPassword>

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

Note When making file changes under High Availability (HA), you must make the changes on both nodes in the cluster. For NNMi using HA configurations, if the change requires you to stop and restart the NNMi management server, you must put the nodes in maintenance mode before running the ovstop and ovstart commands.
