EPICenter Utilities
This appendix describes several utilities and scripts shipped with the EPICenter software:
• The DevCLI utility, that can be used to add, modify, delete, and sync devices and device groups; and
can be used to modify device configuration information from the EPICenter database using the
devcli
command
• The Inventory Export scripts, that can be used to extract information from the EPICenter inventory
and output it to the console or to a file
• The SNMPCLI utility, that can be used to inspect the contents of device MIBs
• The Port Configuration utility, a Windows-only utility that you can use to change the ports used by
the EPICenter server
• The AlarmMgr utility, used to display alarm information from the EPICenter database. Results can
be output to a file.
• The FindAddr utility, used to find IP or MAC addresses within a set of devices or ports (specified
individually or as device or port groups). Results can be output to a file.
• The TransferMgr utility, used to upload or download device configurations, or to download new
software versions.
• The VlanMgr utility, used to create, reset, and delete VLANs.
• The ImportResources utility, used to import resources into the Grouping Manager from an external
source such as an LDAP or NT Domain Controller directory.
The DevCLI Utility
The DevCLI utility allows you to add, modify, and remove devices and device groups from an
EPICenter database using a command line statement, rather than through the EPICenter client user
interface. You can add devices and device groups individually or in groups, and you can specify
arguments such as community strings and login and passwords for both the EPICenter server and the
devices. You can modify device and device group settings as well as device configurations. You can
specify a list of devices in a file and have them added in a single operation.
The DevCLI is useful for updating the EPICenter inventory database quickly when large numbers of
devices or device groups are added, modified or removed, or if changes occur frequently. It can also be
useful when you want to duplicate the device inventory and device group configurations across
multiple installations of the EPICenter server.
