Monitor Symbols
Monitor is configured but not in use by a monitor group.
Monitor is in use by one or more monitor groups.
Name – The Name column identifies the monitor. This name
will appear in all OneSight reports and display pages that show
the status of this monitor.
User Group – Displays the user group to which this monitor
belongs.
Type – Shows the type of monitor.
When you create a monitor, such as Perfmon, and do not leave the
authentication fields blank, an Authproc folder will be created under
the Empirix folder. It will contain the OSauth.exe file and the
OSauth.exe process will be listed in the Task Manager. This file
provides one central process for authentication.
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 to which the monitor applies. OneSight continues to
automatically update the monitor name if you change the host
unless you have changed the default assigned name. Once you have
changed the default name, OneSight no longer automatically
updated the name.
