hostmibd.conf File

Purpose

Defines the configuration parameters for hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent.

Description

The hostmibd.conf file provides the configuration information for the hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent. This file can be changed while the hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent is running. If the refresh command is issued, the hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent will reread this configuration file. The hostmibd dpi2 sub-agent must be under System Resource Control (SRC) for the refresh command to force the reread. To accomplish the reread, as root user, run:

# refresh -s hostmibd

Keywords

The directives are specified in the form of <keyword>=<value>. The keyword is case-insensitive. The value passed is also case-sensitive.

LogFilename: The name of the most recent log file. Less recent log files have the number 1 to (n - 1) appended to their names. The larger the number, the less recent the file.
logFileSize: The Size of log files in K bytes. Maximum size of a log file. When the size of the most recent log file reaches this value, it is renamed and a new log file is created.
numLogFiles: The number of log files desired. The maximum value for numLogFiles is 4. A new file is created when the size of the log file is equal or more than the size specified by the keyword logFileSize. When the number of log files reaches the numLogFiles the log files start rotating.

requestTimeout

The timeout in seconds that the snmpd agent will wait for a response from this sub-agent. The default value is 60 seconds.

tracelevel

The tracing/debug level to do.

       0 =  Least level
       8 =  DPI level 1
       16 = DPI level 2
       32 = Internal level 1
       64 = Internal level 2
      128 = Internal level 3

Add the numbers for multiple trace levels.

updateInterval

The interval, in seconds, that the sub-agent will use to refresh its internal table. The default value is 30 seconds.

Example

logFileName=/usr/tmp/hostmibd.log
logFileSize=0
numLogFiles=0
requestTimeout=180
tracelevel=0
updateInterval=120
