Symptoms
Can Smarts have multiple user-defined-connections.conf files?To invoke an asl script in post-discovery process and generate a file for user-defined connections (output the same format of user-defined-connections.conf). As it is a dynamic file, Is there a way we can have additional user-defined-connections.conf?
Resolution
The ic-user-defined-connection.asl is used to create user-defined-connection. The user-defined-connection.conf is defined by the Import file <IP_BASEDIR>/smarts/conf/discovery/DISCOVERY_GENERIC.import The below lines in the file are for the UserDefinedConnections-Driver 1310 GA_Driver:ost-Processor-UserDefinedConnections-Driver { 1311 ReadsRulesFrom = GA_RuleSet:ost-Processor-UserDefinedConnections-RS 1312 { fileName = "discovery/ic-user-defined-connections.asl" } 1313 ReadsInputFrom = GA_FileFE:ost-Processor-UserDefinedConnections-FE 1314 { fileName = "$SM_SITEMOD/conf/discovery/user-defined-connections.conf"} 1315 waitForCompletion = TRUE To use BOTH .conf files default user-defined-connections.conf and dynamic user-defined-connections.conf, Create a new Driver. In this way, we can keep the default user-defined-connetions.conf untouched and have a dynamic user-defined-connections.conf (with different .conf file name in newly created driver script). (or) To use only the new dynamicxxx.conf file, edit the .import file to replace user-defined-connectins.conf with your desired file name. Ex: To change the .conf file with a different name, just edit this import file name user-defined-connectins.conf from above line 1314
