Launch a Node Group Form

Note If you copy/paste this URL, remove the spaces that were added for line-ending purposes in the documentation.

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showForm&objtype= NodeGroup&name= <y>

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showForm&objtype= NodeGroup&nodegroupid= <y>

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showForm&objtype= NodeGroup&nodegroupuuid= <y>

Note If the NNMi Web server uses the https protocol, use https instead of http.

<serverName> = the fully-qualified domain name of the NNMi management server (values allowed here are determined by the Enable URL Redirect setting in User Interface Configuration, see Configure the NNMi User Interface)

<portNumber> = the NNMi HTTP port number

For a quick-reference list of all URL choices for launching NNMi, see HelpDocumentation LibraryIntegrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs. The Integrate NNMi Elsewhere with URLs page also contains a link to a list of sample URLs that you can copy/paste as a starting point.

Node Group Form Attributes
Attribute Values
name

The case-sensitive Name attribute value from the Node Group form.

Note The Node Group name is translated. If your team shares NNMi within multiple locales, use nodegroupid or nodegroupuuid.

If the Name value includes space characters, consider replacing the space character in your URL statement (see W3C Rules for URLs).

nodegroupid

The id is the Unique Object Identifier (unique per object type in the NNMi database). Provide the id of the Node Group to use as a filter for this view.

This attribute value is not visible on any form within the console. To find this value, use the nnmconfigexport.ovpl command-line tool to export an XML file that includes the id attribute value for each object instance.

nodegroupuuid

The uuid is the Universally Unique Object Identifier (unique across all databases). Provide the uuid of the Node Group to use as a filter for this view.

This attribute value is not visible on any form within the console. To find this value, use the nnmconfigexport.ovpl command-line tool to export an XML file that includes the uuid attribute value for each object instance.

The following are optional filter parameters: 

http://<serverName>:<portNumber>/nnm/launch?cmd= showForm&objtype= NodeGroup&name= <y>&menus= <true/false>&envattrs= <name1= value>;<name2= value>

Note If you copy/paste this URL, remove the spaces that were added for line-ending purposes in the documentation.

Attributes for Launched Forms
Attribute Values
menus

true = Show the view menus and the Close button. If not specified, the default is true.

false = Hide the view menus and the Close button to save space in the view.

envattrs

Use Environment Attributes (envattrs) to pass <name=value> pairs from an external application to NNMi. Environment Attributes are session-specific and stored in memory (not in the NNMi database). The name-value pairs can be any arbitrary string (as required by the external program).

For example, let’s assume that NNMi was launched from an application that wants to preserve a session ID (123) and object attribute (node25) as follows:

http://<yourServerName/nnm?cmd= showView&objtype= Node&envattrs= com.my.sessionId= 123;com.my.objectName= node25

Note See Pass Environment Attributes for information about how to retrieve these Environment Attributes (envattrs) <name=value> pairs from NNMi, and pass them back to the originating external application.
