OMi provides a number of command-line interfaces to manage processes, certificates, and the communication infrastructure in general (for example, ovc, ovconfchg, and ovcert). In addition to these interfaces, HPE Operations Agent includes tools to manage specific agent types (for example, opcmon to send data to the monitor agent or opcmsg to feed the message interface).
For more information on these tools, see the Operations Agent Help. Alternatively, to get more information about a command, type the name of the command followed by the ‑help parameter (for example, ovc ‑help).
The following command-line interfaces are particularly useful in Monitoring Automation environments:
ovconfpar
The ovconfpar command-line interface sets and returns configuration parameters remotely. On the OMi server, run the tool with the ‑host <hostname> parameter to connect to a system monitored by HPE Operations Agent. The ‑change and ‑get parameters enable you to change and retrieve configuration values.
For example, to change the primary manager of an agent, run the following command on the secondary or backup OMi server:
ovconfpar -change -host <FQDN of the node> -src-ovrg server -ns eaagt -set OPC_PRIMARY_MGR <FQDN of secondary or backup OMi server>
For more information on ovconfpar, run ovconfpar ‑help.
ovpolicy
The ovpolicy command-line interface installs, manages, and removes both local and remote policies. The OMi server does not have any policies deployed locally but you can use the command to manage policies on remote HPE Operations Agent systems.
For example, you can use it on the OMi server to connect to an agent system and list the policies that are installed there:
ovpolicy ‑list ‑host <FQDN of the node>
For more information on ovpolicy, run ovpolicy ‑help.
ovrc
The ovrc command-line interface remotely controls the starting and stopping, event notification, and status reporting of all components registered with the Operations Control service on a node.
For example, on the OMi server, run the tool with the ‑host <hostname> -status parameter to connect to a system monitored by HPE Operations Agent and to retrieve status information from that system:
ovrc -host <FQDN of the node> -status
For more information on ovrc, run ovrc ‑help.
