# Configuring Modules (DLL) for Polling

Dynamic Link Library (DLL) or modules contain processes to accomplish tasks. Log these modules performances for a detailed reporting.

Open the appusage_modpoller_master.conf configuration file in C:\Program Files\OpeniT\Core\Configuration.

Notice that it contains instructions on how to edit the file.

appusage_modpoller_master.conf
##############################################################################
#
# Format:
# Switch hosts on and off by adding "+host=<pattern>" and "-host=<pattern>"
# lines. The <pattern> is a globbing pattern, containing * and ? as wildcards.
# For each swich (on/off), add globbing patterns to identify modules for
# which to log usage of.
#
# For example, if you want to log for ioclt.dll on the host
# alpha.mycompany.com, but not on any other hosts:
#
# +host=alpha.mycompany.com
# ioctl.dll
#

# The following will apply to all hosts.
+host=*
*

The default configuration will be applied to all connected hosts and will log performance data for the configured processes.

Use the following format:

<sign>host=<pattern>
*<dll_name>

Format	Description
<action>	The symbol representing the action to perform. + (plus sign) - include in performing data logging - (minus sign) - exclude in performance data logging
<pattern>	A globbing pattern containing *asterisk () and question mark (?)** as wildcards. It identifies the name of the host or machine to apply the rule on.
<dll_name>	The specific name of the dll or module to log the performance data.

Appusage Module Poller Rules Format

Add new lines for new entries.
Example
```
+host=alpha.mycompany.com
*ioctl.dll
```
This mean to log performance data for ioctl.dll module on the host alpha.mycompany.com and not on the other hosts.
Example
```
-host=beta.mycompany.com
*ServerCA.dll
```
This means to exclude logging of SeverCA.dll module performance data on the host beta.mycompany.com.
Save the changes.
