NAME
     ttproclist - Process a template with a nodelist

SYNOPSIS
     torrus ttproclist --tmpl=TFILE --out=OFILE --nodes=NFILE [options...]

DESCRIPTION
     This command takes a Template-Toolkit template and a list of nodes (usually
     SNMP devices) as input. The output file is a result of template substitu-
     tion, according to the specified options.	Command-line options --tmpl,
     --out and --nodes are mandatory.

     This utility can be used to generate the discovery instructions XML out of
     a predefined template and a dynamically generated list of devices.  Alter-
     natively, it can produce Torrus XML configuration for a given list of ob-
     jects, etc.

     The following variables are predefined when the template is processed:

     *	 "nodes"

	 Hash array of nodes. Hash keys are the node names. Values are symbolic
	 names. If symbolic names are not defined, values are the same as keys.

     *	 "param"

	 Hash array of command-line parameters given in --param option.

     *	 "nodesfile", "creator"

	 Informative variables. They can be used to produce the creation note in
	 the resulting files. "nodesfile" returns the file name of nodes, and
	 "creator" returns a detailed information how the file was generated,
	 with timestamp and command line options.

OPTIONS
     --tmpl=TFILE
	 The file name of the input template. Relative names are looked in the
	 current directory and in /usr/local/etc/torrus/templates. The file name
	 may also be an absolute path.

     --out=OFILE
	 Output file name. If no absolute path given, the file is written in the
	 current directory.

     --nodes=NFILE
	 The name of the nodes list. Nodes should be separated by space or tab
	 character or newline. Additional information, referred to as symbolic
	 name, can be supplied after a colon, of the form NODENAME:SYMBOLICNAME.

     --param=NAME:VALUE,NAME:VALUE...
	 List of optional parameters that may be used in the template.

EXAMPLES
     The following example gerenates "devdiscover" input file from a template.
     The template is as follows:

      <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF8"?>
      <snmp-discovery>
      >>> usual DDX parameters here, like SNMP community and data-dir
       <param name="snmp-community" value="private"/>
       <param...
      >>> This loop generates per-host entries
       [% FOREACH n = nodes.keys.sort %]
       <host>
	 <param name="snmp-host" value="[% n %]"/>
	 <param name="symbolic-name" value="[% nodes.$n %]"/>
	 <param name="output-file" value="nodes/[% n %].xml"/>
       </host>
       [% END %]
      >>> Generate the bundle file, so that you need only one
      >>> entry in torrus-site-config.pl
       <param name="output-bundle" value="[% param.BUNDLE %].xml"/>
      </snmp-discovery>

     The following command would generate MY.ddx from template file MY.ddtmpl as
     described above. The file MY.nodes is a list of SNMP devices, one per line.
     Then "devdiscover" is launched with MY.ddx as input. Note also the short
     form of the command line wrapper.

      torrus ttproclist --tmpl=MY.ddtmpl \
	--nodes=MY.nodes \
	--out=/usr/local/etc/torrus/discovery/MY.ddx \
	--param=BUNDLE:MYNODES

      torrus dd --in=MY.ddx --verbose

     In addition, you may put some common parameters in Template BLOCK statement
     in a separate file, and INCLUDE it in your templates. See the Tem-
     plate-Toolkit documentation for more detail.
