All about ProTop's etc/dblist.cfg file
The PROTOPDIR/etc/dblist.cfg file contains one line for each OpenEdge component ProTop is currently configured to monitor. Each line consists of the following components, separated by pipe symbols and in this order:
friendlyName|/dbpath/dbName|serverName|monitor[|dlcPath[|group[|codePath]]]
|
Component |
Mandatory? | Description |
| friendlyName | yes | An arbitrary name for the component being monitored by ProTop. e.g. protop myProdDb |
| /dbpath/dbName (no .db) | yes | The explicit path of the database, including the database name without the .db extension. e.g. /data/app1/db/sports (drop the .db). If the component is not a database, use -1 here instead. |
| serverName | yes | Most often this is the output of the hostname command for the server. If you are having issues getting your ProTop agents started, please reach out by using the Questions? Comments? link at the top of this page. |
| monitor | yes |
Is this component being monitored by ProTop? |
| dlc | no | Used by dbmonitor.sh when starting agents where the component does not use the default DLC for this ProTop installation as set in bin/protopenv. |
| group (aka type or resrcType) | no | This corresponds with the resource's Group attribute in the ProTop Portal. It is used in conjunction with the ProTop Configuration File Hierarchy and is referred to there as "group". |
| codePath | no | Resource Specific PROPATH to accommodate resources that use different versions of OpenEdge |
