Edit sensor configuration
In Central Management Console (CMC) and Guardian sensors, use the command-line Interface (CLI) to configure the Nozomi Networks solution.
You can access the command-line interface (CLI) in two ways:
- use the
cli
command in a text-console when connected to the sensor, either directly or through secure shell (SSH) - in the web GUI, select
Administration > Settings > CLI
Examples:
A command issued via the
cli
command in a
shell:root@ch-lab-sg-guardian-stable:~ # cli
> conf.user configure vi gc old_ghost_nodes 3600
{"result"=>true}
success
A command issued (through pipe) to the
cli
command in a shell:
root@ch-lab-sg-guardian-stable:~ # echo conf.user configure vi gc old_ghost_nodes 3600 | cli
> {"result"=>true}
success
>root@ch-lab-sg-guardian-stable:~ #
There are cases, on Remote Collector sensors for example, where cli
command doesn't
work; in those cases or to fine-tune user-defined configuration or mass-import rules from
other systems it's required to manually edit the /data/cfg/n2os.conf.user
. In this
section we will see how to change and apply a configuration rule.
Please log into the shell console, either through SSH, or shell console, and issue the following commands.
- Use vi or nano to edit
/data/cfg/n2os.conf.user
- Edit a configuration rule with the text editor, see the next sections for some examples
- Write configuration changes to disk and exit the text editor
Next sections cover all the necessary details about the supported configuration rules.
