Automatizace nastavení serverů za pomoci NSH skriptování v prostředí BMC Server Automation

Abstract

This paper evaluates the significance of automated settings of the server infrastructure monitoring. A mode of analysis of monitored events is presented, and the difference between automatic and manual methods of setting the monitoring is evaluated. In a BMC Server Automation environment, the scripts were created using a NSH scripting language, which serves for universal setting of a new configuration of a PATROL Agent monitoring on a server. Using jobs, those scripts were subsequently run on all monitored servers, thereby significantly reducing the manpower needed to carry out the setting adjustments, and ensure the reliability of a new setting. The result of automatic settings was evaluated: in three months after applying new settings, a 70 % reduction of unneeded monitoring information was achieved.
