Extending Existing TLP Configuration Files

To avoid duplicated code in configuration files, it is possible that one configuration file can extend another configuration file. For example, a configuration named, cpc.cfg, could contain the following line:

Extends tlp.cfg

In this example, cpc.cfg uses the information that is located in tlp.cfg as fallback. This entry is added on a per-module basis. If cpc.cfg defines a module for the class, dir-producer, then no information from the tlp.cfg dir-producer definition is taken. All paths are relative to the $BaseDir/conf configuration directory.

You can switch off a module in the inherited configuration file by providing the appropriate Role directive. For example, the following entry switches off all reports:

Report

The complete TLP configuration file is located in the /opt/SUNWtlp/conf/default/tlp.cfg directory. Configuration instructions are included in the file. Note that you must have installed the TLP software to access the file in this location.
