The output file is a result of +template substitution, according to the specified options. +Command-line options B<--tmpl>, B<--out> and B<--nodes> are mandatory. + +This utility can be used to generate the discovery instructions XML out of +a predefined template and a dynamically generated list of devices. +Alternatively, it can produce Torrus XML configuration for a given list +of objects, etc. + +The following variables are predefined when the template is processed: + +=over 4 + +=item * C + +Hash array of nodes. Hash keys are the node names. Values are symbolic +names. If symbolic names are not defined, values are the same as keys. + +=item * C + +Hash array of command-line parameters given in B<--param> option. + +=item * C, C + +Informative variables. They can be used to produce the creation +note in the resulting files. C returns the file name of nodes, +and C returns a detailed information how the file was generated, +with timestamp and command line options. + +=back + +=head1 OPTIONS + +=over 4 + +=item B<--tmpl>=I + +The file name of the input template. Relative names are looked in +the current directory and in F<@tmpluserdir@>. The file name may also be +an absolute path. + +=item B<--out>=I + +Output file name. If no absolute path given, the file is written in the current +directory. + +=item B<--nodes>=I + +The name of the nodes list. Nodes should be separated by space or tab +character or newline. Additional information, referred to as symbolic name, +can be supplied after a colon, of the form NODENAME:SYMBOLICNAME. + +=item B<--param>=I + +List of optional parameters that may be used in the template. + +=back + +=head1 EXAMPLES + +The following example gerenates C input file from a template. +The template is as follows: + + + + >>> usual DDX parameters here, like SNMP community and data-dir + + >> This loop generates per-host entries + [% FOREACH n = nodes.keys.sort %] + + + + + + [% END %] + >>> Generate the bundle file, so that you need only one + >>> entry in torrus-site-config.pl + + + +The following command would generate F from template file F +as described above. The file F is a list of SNMP devices, one per +line. Then C is launched with F as input. Note also the +short form of the command line wrapper. + + torrus ttproclist --tmpl=MY.ddtmpl \ + --nodes=MY.nodes \ + --out=/usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery/MY.ddx \ + --param=BUNDLE:MYNODES + + torrus dd --in=MY.ddx --verbose + +In addition, you may put some common parameters in Template BLOCK +statement in a separate file, and INCLUDE it in your templates.
