The Auto Create Consumers function generates a definition file (CSV format) that can be edited and then imported to create consumers.
The following is a sample consumer definition file:
This example creates three consumers of Platinum grade based on hist names. In this case, the entire Host Name is used to name the consumer (Equals=Use entire base parameter).
The RULE NAME refers to the resource assignment rule that is automatically created for each consumer.
The RULE DESCRIPTION is simply the name given to the consumer definition file, in this case: _A_Host_Host Name_EntireBaseParam_Platinum_System_20220330100437.csv.
For best results, you should not make complex edits. The file is intended for making minor adjustments, such as:
- Setting a different grade for select consumers
- Making individual edits to consumer names
- Deleting unwanted consumers (by deleting an entire row)
If you need to make edits to the other columns, it is best to use the GUI.
