Configuration Files Reference

This section describes the files that configure Trisul, the command-line tools you use to manage them, and the identifiers and syntax those files use.

Directories

• Trisul binaries are in /usr/local/bin.
• Config files are in /usr/local/etc/trisul-hub, /usr/local/etc/trisul-probe and /usr/local/etc/trisul-config.
• Helper scripts are in /usr/local/share/trisul-hub and /usr/local/share/trisul-probe.
• Each context (an instance of Trisul) has its own config directory, named context_{xyz}.

Config files

• trisulProbeConfig.xml: the main Probe config file.
• trisulHubConfig.xml: the main Hub config file.
• NetFlow config file: how the Probe processes NetFlow and IPFIX records.
• Plugin Configuration: the per-plugin PI-xxxx.xml files, and the cfgedit tool that edits them.

Command-line tools

• trisulctl_hub: manage the domain, contexts and Hub from the command line.
• trisulctl_probe: manage contexts and the Probe from the command line.
• trisbashrc: bash aliases for moving between Trisul directories and viewing logs.
