Syntax

 

Connection

 

In order to execute remote commands it is first required to provide connection parameters to the XpoLog instance:

Connection Parameters

Key

Description

Values

 

xpologURL

The URL to the XpoLog instance

URL

Mandatory

user

Authentication user name

Text

Optional (Mandatory if security is enabled)

password

Example for base command to connect to a remote XpoLog:

java -cp xpologClient.jar com.xpolog.sdk.client.XpoLogSDKClient -xpologURL http://<xpolog-machine>:<xpolog-port>/logeye -user USER_NAME -password PASSWORD

 

When using scripts, it is recommended to set the above as parameters, as they should be used on any command which is being executed:

Windows:

set JAVA_RUN=java -cp xpologClient.jar com.xpolog.sdk.client.XpoLogSDKClient

set XPOLOG_CONN=-xpologURL http://<xpolog-machine>:<xpolog-port>/logeye -user USER_NAME -password PASSWORD

Comments:

  1. Any value which contains the space character should be wrapped with “quotes”. For example: 
    %JAVA_RUN% %XPOLOG_CONN% -api securityUsers -name testUser -userPassword testPassword -displayName "TEST USER" -override true -userPolicy test -selectedGroupsList testgroup;All
  2. General Script Example: download here
  3. Common Use Case:
    Automating the process of adding new servers to XpoLog, mainly in dynamic environments such as clouds 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 XpoLog and the required logs will be collected and available for the users.
