Adding Monitors to a Monitor Group
The Add Monitor dialog box lists all the available types of
dedicated monitors that you can apply to monitor the individual
metrics or systems for your monitor group. There are also
profile monitor options. Profile monitors allow you to track and
manage performance of the back-end systems used for your
monitor group. When you click a monitor in the Monitor Types
box, the dialog box displays the options you must use to apply
that monitor to your monitor group. Refer to Chapter 5 for
dialog box descriptions.
Use settings in this dialog box to apply monitors to your
monitor group. To add a monitor, select the monitor type you
want to apply and then use the options in the Add Monitor
dialog box to configure the monitor.
Monitor Types – The Monitor Types tree lists all of the kinds of
monitors that can be used for your monitor group. To add a
monitor to your monitor group, click the monitor type name that
identifies the kind of process, system component, or activity
that you want to monitor.
When you select a dedicated monitor type, the Add Monitor
dialog box displays the options you must use to apply that
monitor to your monitor group. When you select a profile
monitor, the right side of the Add Monitor dialog box lists the
names of systems that you can use to create a profile monitor.
Monitor Name – Each monitor that you create must have a
unique name. In the Monitor Name box, OneSight creates a
unique name for the current monitor by combining the name of
the monitor type with the name of the host or system to which
the monitor applies. To change the default assigned name, type
a unique monitor name that helps you to identify what this
monitor does.
Group Profiles By – Lets you group the available profiles in the
Monitor Types tree. Use the Profile Manager button or the
