IPM CLI Command Reference

---

This section describes the command line interface (CLI) commands that you can use to manage Internetwork Performance Monitor (IPM).

The commands described in this section are:

•ipm -help

•ipm addadhoctarget

•ipm baseline

•ipm deletedevice

•ipm export

•ipm exportstats

•ipm importcollector

•ipm controlcollector

•ipm deletereports

•ipm generatereports

•ipm listcollectors

•ipm -v

Some IPM commands are run only by the root user while the others are run by the root user and also by members of the casusers group.

Using IPM CLI Command

In addition to using the graphical-based device configuration functions, you can use the ipm command-line utility to perform tasks on the devices, collectors, or on both.

For more details, see these topics:

•Setting CWCLIFILE Environment Variable

•Running IPM

•Examples of ipm Commands

On all supported platforms, the files that are created by IPM are owned by casuser. They belong to the same group as the user (casuser) who created the files, and have read-write access for both casuser and the group.

---

Note Your login determines whether you can use this argument.

---

Setting CWCLIFILE Environment Variable

You can store your username and password in a file and set an environment variable CWCLIFILE which points to the file, if you want to avoid the -p argument which will reveal the password in clear text in CLI.

You should maintain this file and control access permissions to prevent unauthorized access. If CWCLIFILE is set only to filename instead of full path, IPM framework looks for the current working directory.

If you use the -p argument, even after setting the CWCLIFILE variable, the password is taken from the command line instead of CWCLIFILE. This is not secure and usage of this argument is not recommended.

The password must be provided in the file in the following format:

username password

Where username and password are the CiscoWorks login credentials. The delimiter between the username and password is a single space.

You must enter a comma as the delimiter if the password is blank. Otherwise, IPM framework cannot validate the password.

Example

To run the ipm command with the CWCLIFILE file on Windows, enter the following at the command prompt:

C:\Program Files\CSCOpx\bin>set CWCLIFILE=D:\ciscoworks\password.txt

Where the file, password.txt contains the username and password for CiscoWorks server.

Running IPM

The ipm command is located in the following directories, where install_dir is the directory in which IPM is installed:

•On Solaris systems: /opt/CSCOpx/bin

•On Windows systems: install_dir\CSCOpx\bin

The default install directory is C:\Program Files.

If you install IPM on Windows on an NTFS partition, only users in the administrator or casuser group can access IPM.

Users with read-write access to the CSCOpx\files\archive directory and the directories under that can also use IPM.

Examples of ipm Commands

1. ipm exportstats

ipm exportstats -u admin -p admin -m user@domain.com -coll C3_DHCP -start '2006-12-29 01:47:37.000'-end '2006-12-30 01:47:37.000' -granularity h -reportType a

Output

Successful: ipm exportstats: /var/adm/CSCOpx/files/ipm/export/statistics/AVAILABILITY_HOURLY_2006-12-29_2006-12-30_Fri_Jan_05_21:21:43_IST_2007.csv is exported Successfully

This result occurs when the collector statistics is successfully exported.

2. ipm deletedevice

ipm deletedevice -u admin -p admin -device 255.255.255.255

Output

<ipm> INFO - Done with the execution of the command.

This result occurs when the device is successfully deleted.

Arguments

Many of the arguments are common to all commands. These arguments can be broadly classified as those that are expected by every command (function independent) and those that are specific to the context of a command.

This section explains:

•Mandatory Arguments

•Function-independent Arguments

•Function-dependent Arguments

•Function-specific Arguments

•Input List File Format

Mandatory Arguments

You must use the following arguments with all commands.

-u userid

Specifies the CiscoWorks username. You must define an environment variable ipm CWCLIFILE with value set to a filename, which will contain the corresponding password.

You should maintain the file. You can control the access permissions of this file to prevent unauthorized access. ipm looks for current working directory if ipm CWCLIFILE is set to only file name instead of full path.

If -u argument is used along with -p argument, the password is taken from the command line instead of ipm CWCLIFILE. This is not secure and we recommend that you do not use this argument.

The password must be provided in the file in the following format:

username password

Where username is the CiscoWorks user name given in command line. The delimiter between username and password is single blank space.

You must provide the delimiter if the password is blank. Otherwise, ipm will not validate the password. The password file can contain multiple entries with different user names. The password of the first match is considered in case of duplicate entries.

For more information, see Setting CWCLIFILE Environment Variable.

Function-independent Arguments

You can use the following arguments without any commands:

•-help

When you run the -help argument, ipm displays a list of all supported commands and a one-line description of the command.

•-v

When you run the -v argument, ipm displays the IPM CLI version.

Function-dependent Arguments

You can use the following arguments only with commands:

•-p password

Specifies the password for the CiscoWorks username.

---

Warning If -p password is not used, the password is read from the command ipm CWCLIFILE. This is highly insecure and *not* recommended. See -u argument for more details. For more information, see Setting CWCLIFILE Environment Variable.

---

•-m mailbox

Mails the results of the ipm command to the specified e-mail address.

Function-specific Arguments

You can use the following arguments only with specific commands:

•-coll—Used with stop, start, delete, controlcollector functions.

•-start—Used with controlcollector function.

•-end—Used with exportstats function.

Example 1

ipm controlcollector -u userid -p password -start -coll collector name

Use the above command to start the stopped collectors.

Example 2

ipm exportstats -u userid -p password [-m email] [-delimiter delimiter]

[-coll collectorname] {-start starttime} {-end endtime} {-granularity d|w|m|h|min}

{-reportType a|l|j|h|i|p|r|e}

Use the above command to export collectors.

–delimiter—Separates the fields in the exported file. By default, `,' is used as a delimiter, where the exported file is in .xls format.

–coll—Specify the name of the collectors separated by comma.

–start—Specify the Start Time of your report.

–end—Specify the End Time of your report.

–granularity—Specify the granularity for the report. The granularity available are min-Minute, h-Hourly, d-Daily, w-Weekly, and m-Monthly.

–reportType—Specify the report type. The report types available are a-Availability, l-Latency, j-Jitter, h-HTTP, i-ICMP, p-PathEcho, r-RTP, and e-EthernetJitter.

Input List File Format

You can create Input List File Format for entering a list of arguments and its parameters.

The contents of the input list file are a sequence of lines. Each line specifies command arguments and the input parameters. The arguments must be specific to the function. You can include comments in the input list file by starting the each commented line with #.

In IPM, you can use input list file format in the following commands:

•ipm export

•ipm exportstats

•ipm deletedevicce

•ipm controlcollector

•ipm addadhoctarget

•ipm importcollector

Example

ipm addadhoctarget -u userid -p password -input file

input file—Contains [-m email] {-device deviceip | hostname} information.
