Modifying uptime.conf File Settings
Configuration parameters that are directly tied to the Uptime Core service are found in the uptime.conf file. uptime.conf is a text file that you can modify in any text editor, and can be found in the root Uptime Infrastructure Monitor installation directory.
In addition to the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor database, uptime.conf parameters affect a variety of Uptime Infrastructure Monitor behavior.

Not all of the settings listed in this section will necessarily be found in your particular uptime.conf file. |
Changing the Default Uptime Username and Password
Uptime Infrastructure Monitor 7.9 introduced the use of encrypted passwords in the uptime.conf and uptime-controller.conf files. In order to change the default Uptime username and password, you must first change them in the datastore (i.e. MySQL, MSSQL, or Oracle). Then use the UptimeConfigUtility tool to apply the changes to the uptime.conf and uptime-controller.conf files.
To use this utility
- Open the terminal and change the directory to the scripts folder under the UIM install directory (..\uptime\scripts).
- Below are the details to run the UptimeConfigUtility.
To check all options, use the help command as below:
java -jar UptimeConfigUtility.jar --help
[option] [description]
-path Path of configuration file must be passed as a first parameter
-t To set database type
-hTo set hostname
-prt To set port number
-d To set database name
-u To set database username
-pwd To set database password
To run
java -jar UptieConfigUtility.jar [option] [parameter_value]
For example
java -jar UptieConfigUtility.jar -path C:\uptime.conf -prt 8989 -d testDB
