Using the /UpdForwarder parameter, you can change the name and the value of an ACS forwarder and also change the group membership of an ACS forwarder.
Syntax
AdtAdmin.exe /UpdForwarder
[/Collector:<CollectorName>] {/Forwarder:<Name> |
/ForwarderID:<ForwarderIDNumber> | /ForwarderSid:<SID>
| /Group:<GroupName> | /GroupID:<IdentificationNumber>
| /GroupValue:<ValueNumber> | /Value:<ValueNumber>}
{/Name:<NewName> | /Value:<NewValueNumber>
/GroupValue:<NewValue>}
| Subparameter | Definition | ||
|---|---|---|---|
|
/Collector:CollectorName |
Specifies the ACS collector to which the ACS forwarder or forwarders sends audit events. If this subparameter is omitted, the local ACS collector is assumed. |
||
|
/Forwarder:Name |
Specifies an ACS forwarder by its computer name. |
||
|
/ForwarderID:ForwarderIDNumber |
Specifies an ACS forwarder by its identification number. An identification number is assigned to an ACS forwarder when it first connects to the ACS collector. |
||
|
/ForwarderSID:SID |
Specifies an ACS forwarder by its computer security identification number. |
||
|
/Group:GroupName |
Specifies a group of ACS forwarders by the group’s name. |
||
|
/GroupID: IdentificationNumber |
Specifies a group of ACS forwarders by the group’s identification number. An identification number is assigned to a group when it is first created. |
||
|
/Value:ValueNumber |
Specifies an ACS forwarder or ACS group by its assigned connection value. The ACS collector prioritizes connections from ACS forwarders using connection values. Connection values range from -1 through 99. A value of -1 means the forwarder is part of an ACS group and that the group's value is used to determine the forwarder's priority. A value of 0 means the ACS collector ignores data from that ACS forwarder or group. If event saturation is detected, a collector will disconnect forwarders or a group of forwarders with lower values before disconnecting forwarders with higher values. |
||
|
/GroupValue:NewValue |
Specifies a new value for a group to which the ACS forwarder belongs. |
||
|
/Name:NewName |
Specifies a new name for the ACS forwarder. |
||
|
/Value:NewValueNumber |
Specifies a new value for the ACS forwarder. |
||
Example
In this example, an ACS forwarder identified as Server1 has a current connection value of 5. This connection value is changed to 3:
adtadmin /updforwarder /forwarder:Server1
/value:5 /value:3
In this example, an ACS forwarder named "Accounting Computer" is assigned a new configuration value of 99:
adtadmin /updforwarder /forwarder:"Accounting
Computer" /value:99
In this example, a group that contains the ACS forwarder named "Accounting Computer" is assigned a new configuration value of 2:
adtadmin /updforwarder /forwarder:"Accounting
Computer" /groupvalue:2
In this example, the connection value of a group, specified by its identification number, is changed to 50:
adtadmin /updforwarder /forwarderid:1
/value:50
 Note |
|---|
| An ACS forwarder can be a member of only one group at a time. If the ACS forwarder is already a member of an ACS group, running this command removes the forwarder from that group. All names with spaces must be contained within parentheses. |
