A configuration
image is the description of a set of XpoLog components, such as
logs, reports, monitors and so on. A configuration image can be
exported and saved in the file system and could be later imported to
created a configuration identical to the one that was saved. A
configuration image can also be published to other XpoLog nodes to
create there images of a local configuration. For instance, in case
XpoLog is installed in multiple locations with similar environments,
one configuration image could be used to update all these
configurations and to create similar configurations in newly
installed XpoLogs. Another example would be to use a configuration
image to duplicate a configuration on the same XpoLog, as in the
case where an environment that XpoLog was configured to watch is
installed on further machines. Unlike export and import of logs and
folders, a configuration image saves and publishes only the
components' configurations, but not their data.
Publishers are definitions containing both transformation in
the names and locations of logs and folders that should take during
the publishing process and information concerning the target(s) of
the published configuration image. Transformation information
publishers is used also during exporting of configuration images.

- From the 'Configuration' menu, select
'Configuration Image'.
- Click on the 'Add new Configuration Image'
link to create a new configuration image or click on the 'edit'
link of an existing configuration image to edit it.
-
Enter the name of
the configuration image. You can also enter a description to it.
- If you want to overwrite existing configurations,
click the 'Overwrite existing configuration image' checkbox,
otherwise leave it unchecked. You can also overwrite specific address, tasks and schedulers
configurations (in case you don't want to overwrite all the configurations). You can do that by selecting
the overwrite checkbox for each configuration separately. See
below the list of available XpoLog components whose
configuration can be added to the configuration image.
- Select from each tab the configuration you want to create the image for, and click
'save'.

|
After you save the configuration image you return to the
'Configuration Image Set' page. You can also get to this page
from the 'Configuration' menu by selecting 'Configuration
Image'. Here you can select for existing configuration images
one of the options: export, publish, edit, delete or duplicate.
Export - Choose export to create a zip file from the configuration
image and save it to your file system. Click 'export' to go to
the 'Export configuration image' page.
Select here the publisher you want to use for the exported
configuration image and click the 'export' link. After
processing completes, select the 'save' option of the browser to
save the created zip file to your file system.
Publish - Choose publish to publish the configuration image to other
XpoLog nodes or to the local XpoLog.
In the 'Publishers Set page select 'Add new publisher' to
create a new publisher or select 'edit' to edit an existing publisher. In
the 'Folder names' page you can add (for each of the folders
selected in 'Logs and folders' tab) under 'New folder name' the name of the folder as you want it to
appear in the published node(s). By default the original folder
names will be kept. If you selected the 'Overwrite existing configuration image' checkbox
in the configuration image definition page, then the following will happen:
within a subtree of folders, as long as the same folder names are used, the
existing folders will be overwritten. Once a folder with a new
name is encountered, then a sub tree is created from this folder's
parent folder and all of this folder's ancestor will hang under it
in the new subtree. Click next to go to the 'Configuration Image
logs path' page.
For each of the logs selected in the 'Logs and folders' tab enter,
under 'target path', the path of the log as it should appear in the
published node. If for instance the log 'client' is located in the
local XpoLog node under 'c:\logs'
and in the target node(s) under 'c:\xpolog\logexample',
enter 'c:\xpolog\logexample'
in the target path.
Click 'next' for the 'XpoLog Enterprise Nodes'
page.
Select the nodes you want to publish the
configuration image to. As mentioned above, you can also select
the local XpoLog as a target. Click 'save' to save the publisher, or
'publish and
save' to save and then publish it.
Duplicate - Choose this option to create a copy of the configuration image.
|
|
- From the 'Data Support' menu select
'Import Configuration Image'.
-
Select the file containing the configuration image and click
'next'.
Importing a configuration image might
take a substantial amount of time, depending on its size. Be
aware that importing a configuration image (and publishing one
too) results in changes to your configuration: XpoLog component
will be added and might overwrite existing ones.
