set

The set commands are used to manage settings/behaviors related to authentication, networking, and general operation for the Plixer Scrutinizer server.

Options and syntax

Note

These commands can alter Plixer Scrutinizer functionality and should be used with caution.

set columnmoniker <OLD_NAME> <NEW_NAME> [ELEMENT_LIST]	Replaces an information element’s OLD_NAME with the specified NEW_NAME If the optional ELEMENT_LIST of one or more elements (comma-delimited) is included, renaming will be limited to flow templates that also include those elements. This command should only be run under the direction of Plixer Technical Support.
set dns	Allows use the user to enter one or more new DNS servers for hostname resolution The operation will overwrite the system’s previous DNS server list.
set hostinfo <IP_ADDRESS> <FQHN>	Assigns the specified FQHN (fully qualified hostname) to the current Plixer Scrutinizer appliance and configures resolution for the provided IP_ADDRESS
set leds_threshold	Resets the LED warning threshold to 10% of the total storage available on the appliance’s data partition When combined with the Auto History Trimming settings, this function can help prevent Plixer Scrutinizer from using up all available storage.
set myaddress <IPv4_ADDRESS> <NETMASK> <GATEWAY> set myaddress <IPv6_ADDRESS/CIDR> <GATEWAY>	Assigns the specified IPv4/IPv6_ADDRESS, CIDR/NETMASK, and GATEWAY to the current appliance After the provided IP information has been confirmed to be correct, the previous address of the same type will be overwritten. Because an SSH session will automatically be terminated after the new IP address is assigned, it is recommended to run this command from a console connection.
set partitions <PARTITION> [extend]	Extends the specified PARTITION to expand OS diskspace for the current hardware or virtual (requires the extend flag) appliance It is highly recommended to create a backup before running this command.
set password webui <user> set password plixer	Resets the password for the plixer OS user/account or the specified web interface USER
set registercollector <IP_ADDRESS> [secondary]	Registers the Plixer Scrutinizer appliance with the specified IP_ADDRESS as a remote collector and, if the SECONDARY flag is included, as the secondary reporter for the distributed cluster This command must be run from the distributed cluster’s primary reporter/server.
set salt <SALT>	Adds the specified SALT value to the current appliance’s machine details for license key generation
set selfregister [reset]	Reinitializes the server and, if the reset flag is included, resets all appliance settings
set selfreporter	Promotes the secondary reporter in a distributed cluster to the primary reporter role This command must be run on an appliance that was assigned the secondary reporter role (see registercollector above).
set sshcollectorkeys	Generates a new SSH key pair and distributes it to all registered appliances The operation will also overwrite any previous key pairs, which will address any issues that require re-syncing of SSH access.
set ssl [on|off] [ecc]	Toggles SSL support in Plixer Scrutinizer on or off If the on option is passed, the user will also be prompted to enter the required certificate details, which will overwrite any existing values even if SSL was already enabled (default). If the ecc argument is included, a 256-bit Elliptical Curve (EC) public/private key pair will also be generated. For further details on Plixer Scrutinizer’s default SSL settings and behavior, see the SSL configuration guide.
set timezone [TIMEZONE]	Sets the Plixer Scrutinizer appliance’s time zone to the specified TIMEZONE For a list of time zones, use the show timezone command.
set tuning	Re-tunes the appliance by modifying certain Plixer Scrutinizer and OS settings in sysctl.conf, postgresql.conf, and plixer.ini as well as in the plixer.exporters and plixer.serverprefs tables. This command should only be run under the direction of Plixer Technical Support.
set voip [on|off]	Toggles predefined VoIP port ranges on or off
set webui_timeout <SECONDS>	Sets the number of SECONDS before HTTPD requests/queries to Apache and PostgreSQL time out
set yum_proxy <HOST> <PORT> <USER>	Configures/overwrites proxy settings using the provided HOST address/hostname, PORT, and USER in the yum configuration file.
