Comments:

  1. Any value which contains the space character should be wrapped with “quotes”. For example if the display name of a user is TEST USER then it should wrapped with quotes as: 
    %JAVA_RUN% %XPOLOG_CONN% -api securityUsers -name testUser -userPassword testPassword -
    ... -displayName "TEST USER" -override true -userPolicy test -selectedGroupsList testgroup;All...

Common Use Case:

  1. Automatically Add Servers to XpoLog:
    Automating the process of adding new servers to XpoLog, mainly in dynamic environments such as clouds where servers are constantly added and removed. The SDK provides full support so when a new machine is added, simply be a few commands it will be list in couple of commands the new server is added to XpoLog and the required logs will are be collected and available for the users. See Script Example: download here
  2. Automatically Remove / Disable Servers in XpoLog:
    1. Disable Server but keep data that was already collected
      If a server is removed from the environment but you wish to keep the data that was already collected by XpoLog from that server, simply disable the account of that specific server so XpoLog will not try to connect to it but will keep the data based on the retention policy.  See Script Example: download here
    2. Remove Server and data that was collected from it
      If a server is removed from the environment and you wish to remove it from XpoLog including all data then simply remove the account of that server and the folder which contains all its logs. See Script Example: download here
