Explanation of XML Elements and Detailed Usage

There are two xml Event files per driver; one file each for syslogs and SNMP traps. See the examples shown in “Device Server Configuration” on page 31. The format and description of the data is as follows.

• The trapConfig xml has a <TrapConfig> root element, while thesyslog Config xml has a <SysConfig> root element.

• Each xml has exactly one <Package> sub element.

• Within the <Package> there contains:

  • A valid <PackageID> sub element providing the driverNumber must be present.

  • The <IsActive> element value “true” or “TRUE” indicates if this package information must be used or ignored.

  • Multiple <Event> elements can be provided within each package element. At least one sub element <EVENT > is required.

    • One <MatchString> sub element value is used to match relevant events. Note a “.*” matches all messages, while an empty value ignores all messages.

    • One <NegativeMatchString> sub element value indicates that if this match occurs, ignore the event.

    • One <PullConfig> value of 1 indicates to setup a configuration pull if a match successfully occurred with a message, or a simple match to read changes by data, or for additional purposes in the future.

    • Any number of <ChangedBy> regular expressions is matched to extract the username, if present in the message.
