3.1 Reconfiguring the Telemetry Job
The Telemetry agent uses an XML file to collect information about the Identity Manager software, hardware, and usage of Identity Manager drivers. This file is sent to Novell through a secure HTTP connection. By default, the Telemetry job is added to the driver set when the engine is started, but you can reconfigure the job as necessary.
-
On the General page in iManager, configure the following options:
Enable Job: Select this option to run the Telemetry job.
Delete the Job After it Runs Once: Select this option if you want the job to run only once and then be deleted.
Servers: Select the servers where you want the job to run. Multiple servers are available only if the driver set is running on multiple servers. Currently, Telemetry can be configured on only one server in a driver set.
E-Mail Server: To monitor the job, you (or others) can receive e-mail notifications whenever certain results are available for the job. You can also configure e-mail notification on the Parameters page. However, to enable this e-mail notification, you must first specify the e-mail server that will be used to send the notifications. Click the
button to locate and select the Default Notification Collection object or any other notfTemplateCollection object that defines an SMTP mail server.
Display Name: Displays the name assigned to the job.
Description: Displays the description assigned to the job.
-
On the Schedule page, select one of the following options:
Run on a Schedule: Runs the job on a daily, weekly, monthly, or yearly schedule. You can also specify a custom schedule. See the crontab standard when specifying a custom schedule.
Run Manually: Runs the job only when you initiate it through the option.
-
On the Scope page, leave the setting as is. This setting is not applicable to the Telemetry job.
Because this job is derived from the default job configuration, some of the user interface options might not be relevant to Telemetry.

Customer ID: Specify your customer ID. This field is automatically populated from the back-end server after the first report (XML file) is generated.

Transmit Locations: Specify the HTTP URL where the report should be sent. (This location must be already set.)
Configure Proxy Server: Leave this option as unless you want to configure the proxy server. Currently, this option is not implemented.
