Properties and command line options

You use properties to specify how the probe interacts with the device. You can override the default values by using the properties file or the command line options.

The following table describes the properties and command line options specific to this probe. For more information about generic properties and command line options, see the IBM Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Probe and Gateway Guide ).

Table 1. Properties and command line options
Property name	Command line option	Description
DateStreamCapture `integer`	-datestreamcapture `integer`	Use this property to specify whether the probe uses the stream capture feature. This property takes the following values: 0: The probe does not use the stream capture feature. 1: The probe uses the stream capture feature. The default is 0.
Faults `string`	-faults `string`	Use this property to specify the type of fault that the probe requests from the fault adapter. This property takes the following values: normal: The probe acquires an abbreviated definition of the faults. extended: The probe acquires an extended definition of the faults. The default is extended.
HeartbeatInterval `integer`	-heartbeatinterval `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits to receive data before pinging the device. When heartbeating is in use, set the value of this property to an exact multiple of the value of the ReadTimeout property, and ensure that it is greater than the value of the HeartbeatTimeout property (see Heartbeating). The default is 0.
HeartbeatRetryCount `integer`	-heartbeatretrycount `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum number of consecutive ping messages the probe sends to the device before closing the connection. The default is 10.
HeartbeatTimeout `integer`	-heartbeattimeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits for a response to a ping. If the probe does not receive a response, it sends another ping. To disable the heartbeating feature, set the value of this property to 0. To use the heartbeating feature, make the value of this property a positive integer that is greater than the value of the ReadTimeout property and less than the value of the HeartbeatInterval property (see Heartbeating). The default is 0 (heartbeating is disabled).
Host `string`	-host `string`	Use this property to specify the name of the host to which the probe connects. The default is localhost.
MaxStreamCapFileSize `integer`	-maxstreamcapfilesize `integer`	Use this property to specify the maximum size (in bytes) of the stream capture file. When this limit is reached, the probe creates a new file. The default is 0. Note: If the probe reads a stream whose size exceeds the remaining allowable space in the file, it creates a new file in which it can store the whole stream.
Port `integer`	-port `integer`	Use this property to specify the port to which the probe connects. The default is `2461`.
ReadTimeout `integer`	-readtimeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in milliseconds) that the probe allows the socket to be silent. If this time is exceeded, it assumes that the connection is dead and disconnects. The default is 100.
ReconnectionInterval `integer`	-reconnectioninterval `integer`	Use this property to specify the interval (in seconds) between successive reconnection attempts. The default is 0.
ResponseTimeout `integer`	-responsetimeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits for a response from the device when connecting to it. The default is 20.
RetryConnectionCount `integer`	-retryconnectioncount `integer`	Use this property to specify the number of times that the probe attempts to connect to the device. If after this number of attempts the probe has failed to connect to the device, it shuts down. The default is 15.
RetryConnectionTimeOut `integer`	-retryconnectiontimeout `integer`	Use this property to specify the time (in seconds) that the probe waits to receive a response from the device before abandoning the connection attempt. The default is 30.
StreamCaptureFile `string`	-streamcapturefile `string`	Use this property to specify the file that the probes uses to store the input stream log. Leaving this property blank disables the stream capture feature. The default is "".
TargetVersion `string`	-targetversion `string`	Use this property to specify the version of Tellabs 8000 INM to which the probe connects. This property takes the following values: FA12 for R12 FA13 for R13 FA14 for R14 FA15 for R15 FA16 for R16, R16A FA17 for R17, R17A, SR2.0, SR2.0.1, SR2.1, SR2.2, SR3.0, SR4.0 The default is FA15.
