Predefined Host Variable Names

These predefined host variable names refer to the associated attribute of the referenced host:

• sys.hostName – Target host name

• sys.description – Target host description

• sys.hostType – Host type of the target host

• sys.ipAddress – IP address of the remote agent on the target host

• sys.portNumber – Port number of the remote agent on the target host

• sys.raHomeDir – Absolute path of the remote agent home directory on the target host

• sys.raDataDir – Absolute path of the remote agent data directory on the target host

• sys.raTmpDir – Absolute path of the remote agent temporary directory on the target host

• sys.raConfigDir – Absolute path of the remote agent configuration directory on the target host

Example 6–4 Using Host Substitution Variable References

The following are examples of host substitution variable references and their values:

• :[target:sys.ipAddress] – IP address of the current host

• :[target:var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of the current host

• :[target(host1):var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of host host1

• :[target(:[hostNameVar]):var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of the host whose name is the value of the hostNameVar substitution reference

• :[target(/):var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of the root parent host of the current host

• :[target(host1//):var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of the root parent host of the host named host1

• :[target(../..):var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of the second parent host of the current host

• :[target(host1/../..):var1] – Dynamic variable var1 of the second parent host of the host named host1
