Parent Topic:Server API reference

MIDServerFinder - MIDServerFinder()

Creates an instance of MIDServerFinder.

MIDServerFinder - getMIDServers()

Gets the names of MID servers available for a given range and capability.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setRanges('10.10.10.1-10.10.11.254');
var msnames = msf.getMIDServers();

for(var i=0; i<msnames.length; i++) {
  gs.print(msnames[i]);
};

MIDServerFinder - getMIDServersBySysId()

Gets the sys_ids of MID servers available for a given range and capability.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setRanges('10.10.10.1-10.10.11.254');
var msids = msf.getMIDServersBySysId();

for(var i=0; i<msids.length; i++) {
  gs.print(msids[i]);
};

MIDServerFinder - getStatusMessage()

Gets the state of the finder operation.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
gs.print(msf.getStatusMessage());

MIDServerFinder - setActive(Boolean flag)

Sets whether to look for active or inactive MID servers. By default, searches are for active MID servers unless inactive is specified by this method.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setActive('true');

MIDServerFinder - setCapabilities(Array capabilities)

Sets the technologies for which to look.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setRanges('10.10.10.1-10.10.11.254');
var capab = ["ssh","wmi","snmp"];
msf.setCapabilities(capab);

MIDServerFinder - setDebug(Boolean onOrOff)

Turns debugging on or off.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setDebug('true');

MIDServerFinder - setRanges(String ranges)

Sets the range of IP addresses for which to look.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setRanges('10.10.10.1-10.10.11.254');

MIDServerFinder - setRangesByIPOrHostname(String ipOrHostname)

Determines if the input is a single IP or a hostname, and passes the IP or multiple IPs to the setRanges() method.

If the value of ipOrHostname is an IP address, it is passed into the setRanges() method. It the value is a hostname, we look up the DNS table (cmdb_ip_address_dns_name) to try resolving the hostname. The result, either an IP or multiple IPs, is then passes into the setRanges() method.

var msf = new MIDServerFinder();
msf.setRangesByIPOrHostname('10.10.10.1-10.10.11.254');
