NAME

ttproclist - Process a template with a nodelist

SYNOPSIS

torrus ttproclist --tmpl=TFILE --out=OFILE --nodes=NFILE [options...]

DESCRIPTION

This command takes a Template-Toolkit template and a list of nodes (usually SNMP devices) as input. The output file is a result of template substitution, according to the specified options. Command- line options --tmpl, --out and --nodes are mandatory. This utility can be used to generate the discovery instructions XML out of a predefined template and a dynamically generated list of devices. Alternatively, it can produce Torrus XML configuration for a given list of objects, etc. The following variables are predefined when the template is processed: o "nodes" Hash array of nodes. Hash keys are the node names. Values are symbolic names. If symbolic names are not defined, values are the same as keys. o "param" Hash array of command-line parameters given in --param option. o "nodesfile", "creator" Informative variables. They can be used to produce the creation note in the resulting files. "nodesfile" returns the file name of nodes, and "creator" returns a detailed information how the file was generated, with timestamp and command line options.

OPTIONS

--tmpl=TFILE The file name of the input template. Relative names are looked in the current directory and in /usr/local/etc/torrus/templates. The file name may also be an absolute path. --out=OFILE Output file name. If no absolute path given, the file is written in the current directory. --nodes=NFILE The name of the nodes list. Nodes should be separated by space or tab character or newline. Additional information, referred to as symbolic name, can be supplied after a colon, of the form NODENAME:SYMBOLICNAME. --param=NAME:VALUE,NAME:VALUE... List of optional parameters that may be used in the template.

EXAMPLES

The following example gerenates "devdiscover" input file from a template. The template is as follows: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?> <snmp-discovery> >>> usual DDX parameters here, like SNMP community and data-dir <param name="snmp-community" value="private"/> <param... >>> This loop generates per-host entries [% FOREACH n = nodes.keys.sort %] <host> <param name="snmp-host" value="[% n %]"/> <param name="symbolic-name" value="[% nodes.$n %]"/> <param name="output-file" value="nodes/[% n %].xml"/> </host> [% END %] >>> Generate the bundle file, so that you need only one >>> entry in torrus-site-config.pl <param name="output-bundle" value="[% param.BUNDLE %].xml"/> </snmp-discovery> The following command would generate MY.ddx from template file MY.ddtmpl as described above. The file MY.nodes is a list of SNMP devices, one per line. Then "devdiscover" is launched with MY.ddx as input. Note also the short form of the command line wrapper. torrus ttproclist --tmpl=MY.ddtmpl \ --nodes=MY.nodes \ --out=/usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery/MY.ddx \ --param=BUNDLE:MYNODES torrus dd --in=MY.ddx --verbose In addition, you may put some common parameters in Template BLOCK statement in a separate file, and INCLUDE it in your templates. See the Template-Toolkit documentation for more detail.
