Certain resource kinds can be disabled or collapsed into their parent resource kinds. This can be done by modifying the ciscoucs.properties file in the $VCOPS_BASE/user/plugins/inbound/cisco_ucs_adapter/conf/ folder. Any modified properties will be read in during the next collection cycle.

Note: Historical data from resources previous to collapse will not be moved to the new collapsed resource. If a resource is uncollapsed, the data retrieved while the resource was collapsed will not move to the uncollapsed resource. The historical data of the collapsed resource will remain on the parent object.

Shown below is an excerpt from theciscoucs.propertiesfile:

####

# Object Type Collection Types

# Description:

# Describe whether to collect all data, no data, or collapse all data into parent objects for each object type.

# - If set to ‘On’, all data will be collected for objects of that type.

# - If set to ‘Off’, no data will be collected for this object type.

# - If set to ‘Collapse’, all collected data will be attached to the nearest collected parent object.

#

# Note: String literals must be matched exactly.

# Note: The following Resource Kinds cannot be disabled: bm_ucs_blade, bm_ucs_chassis, bm_ucs_fabric_interconnect, bm_ucs_rack, bm_ucs_ucs_manager, bm_cisco_ucs

# Note: The following Resource Kinds cannot be collapsed: bm_ucs_blade, bm_ucs_chassis, bm_ucs_fabric_interconnect, bm_ucs_rack, bm_ucs_ucs_manager, bm_cisco_ucs
