Editing Site Topology File in a Text Editor

The site topology file contains deploy time information such as what processing units to deploy to specific computers and hosts in your environment. You need to know information about the computers that will host the agents you intend to deploy, such as the information about the machine’s operating system and IP address.

An annotated site topology file that can be used as a template exists as follows:

ASG_HOME/mm/bin/asg_default.st

You only need to edit the topology file if the defaults do not serve your purposes. This happens typically when the Core Engines are to be deployed on a different host than the one where the Monitoring and Management server is running.

For example, edit the following settings in the ASG_HOME/mm/bin/asg_default.st file for your deployment (if the default values are not correct):

<host-resources>
<host-resource id="HR_0">
<hostname>127.0.0.1</hostname>
<ip>127.0.0.1</ip>
<user-credentials password="asg" username="asg"/>
<os-type>Windows</os-type>

See Site Topology Reference for details on the XML elements defined in the topology file.
