NAME

       genddx - Generates SNMP discovery instructions file for devdiscover

SYNOPSIS

       torrus genddx --host=HOSTNAME | --hostfile=HOSTFILENAME \ [options...]

DESCRIPTION

       genddx generates the SNMP discovery instructions file, which may be later used as input
       for the devdiscover utility to produce the corresponding Torrus XML configuration file.
       The hostname(s) of router(s) to be included in SNMP discovery must be specified either
       using the --host (for a single router) or --hostfile option.  In the latter case the file
       HOSTFILENAME must contain a space-separated list of router hostnames. Hostnames may have
       the form "host:devname" where "devname" is a symbolic device name.

       This utility is designed to be used only once, in order to generate the discovery XML
       canvas, for futher manual editing. It generates only basic set of parameters, and there
       are much more of those that you may use to customize the discovery process.

       See torrus_ttproclist(8) for a more flexible and complex DDX generator.

       More information is available in Torrus SNMP Discovery User Guide.

           XML configuration file once the output file of the genddx is processed by the
           devdiscover utility. Default value is routers.xml. Without absolute path, the file
           would be resided in /etc/torrus/xmlconfig.
