Modifying the Target Instance Definition from the Command Line

You can modify the target instance definition from the command line using the modify_target verb with the -type="oracle_omys_database" parameter.

For more information on the modify_target verb, see modify_target in Oracle Enterprise Manager Command Line Interface.

The following target properties can be modified:

• Username: Set using the -credentials parameter with the oracle_omys_database_username property.
• Password: Set using the -credentials parameter with the oracle_omys_database_password property.
• Host name: Set using the -properties parameter with the oracle_omys_database_host property.
• Port: Set using the -properties parameter with the oracle_omys_database_port property.
• Socket: Set using the -properties parameter with the oracle_omys_database_socket property.

The following example changes the properties and credentials of an existing target instance definition:

$ emcli modify_target -name="targetExample:3306" -type="oracle_omys_database"
  -credentials="oracle_omys_database_username:<username>;oracle_omys_database_password:<password>"
  -properties="oracle_omys_database_host:<host>;oracle_omys_database_port:<port>"
  -on_agent

where:

• -name defines the name of the target to modify.
• -type defines the type of the monitored instance. oracle_omys_database defines a MySQL database type.
• -credentials changes the user name and password.
• -properties changes the host and port number.
• -on_agent propagates the changes to the Management Agent collecting this target's metrics.
