Classes and attributes for matching
managed systems
To configure
the
Global Manager
, you may need to specify a matching pattern or matching criteria.
The matching pattern or criteria are compared to the name or value
of system and notification attributes. Tasks where you might specify
a matching pattern include:- Creating notification lists
- Specifying tagging patterns
- Determining the status or criteria of tools
- Creating selective groups with the Global ConsoleMatching criteria are strings that are matched against the value of the specified attribute. The criteria can contain any combination of text, integers, and wildcards.System classes and their attributes lists the attributes of the system class hierarchy. The ICIM_System class is at the top of the hierarchy. As you move down the table, the classes become increasingly more specialized until you reach classes that represent specific systems such as routers and switches.Classes lower in the hierarchy inherit the attributes of classes higher in the hierarchy.
System class | Attributes | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
ICIM_System | CreationClassName | String | Name of the class from which
the element was instantiated. |
DisplayClassName | String | Name of the system’s class
that is displayed in the console. | |
DisplayName | String | Name of the system that is
displayed in the console. | |
Description | String | Description of the system. | |
IsManaged | Boolean | Determines if the system is managed by the underlying domain. Unmanaged elements do not appear in the Global Manager topology. | |
Name | String | Name of the system. | |
PrimaryOwnerContact | String | Contact information for the
primary owner of this system. | |
PrimaryOwnerName | String | Name of the primary owner of
this system. | |
SystemName | String | Name of the system of which this component is a part
of or this service is hosted by. | |
ICIM_ComputerSystem | ICIM_ComputerSystem does not
add attributes to the system class hierarchy. A computer system is
a collection of managed system elements such as file systems, processors,
and memory. | ||
UnitaryComputerSystem | Certification | String | Level
of certification assigned to this device during discovery. Possible
values are:
|
Location | String | Description of the physical location of this system. | |
Model | String | Vendor
name for the system. | |
Type | String | Type of the computer system. Possible values
are:
| |
Vendor | String | Name of the system’s
manufacturer. | |
Bridge | Type | String | Unitary computer system that
bridges packets between separate segments. Value is BRIDGE. |
Firewall | Type | String | Unitary computer system that controls the flow of
traffic between networks. Value is FIREWALL. |
Host | Type | String | Unitary computer system that represents a workstation or server.
Value is HOST. |
Hub | Type | String | Unitary computer system that connects multiple
segments. Value is HUB. |
LoadBalancer | Type | String | Unitary
computer system that distributes client traffic across multiple web
servers. Value is LOADBALANCER. |
MSFC | Type | String | Unitary computer
system that represents a Multi Layer Switch Feature Card. An MSFC
is a card installed into a switch to perform routing between VLANs.
Value is MSFC. |
Node | Type | String | Unitary computer system that
has not yet been certified by discovery. |
Probe | Type | String | Unitary
computer system that monitors networks or systems. Value is PROBE. |
Router | Type | String | Unitary computer system that routes packets
between computer networks. Value is ROUTER. |
RSFC | Type | String | Unitary computer system that represents a Router Switch Feature
Card. An RSFC runs Cisco IOS router software and directly interfaces
with Catalyst switches to provide inter-VLAN routing. Value is RSFC. |
RSM | Type | String | Unitary computer system that represents
a Router Switch Module. Often installed in switches to route packets
between VLANs. Value is RSM. |
Switch | Type | String | Unitary computer
system that switches packets between separate segments. Value is SWITCH. |
TerminalServer | Type | String | Unitary computer system that represents
a terminal server or similar access device. Value is TERMINALSERVER. |
Uncertified | Type | String | [Deprecated, replaced by Node] Unitary
computer system that represents a system that has not yet been certified
by discovery. Value is HOST. |
