Configuring DNS Monitors
In the Add Monitor dialog box, when you click DNS in the Monitor
Types box, settings to configure a DNS monitor appear on these
dialog box tabs:
General Tab – Contains the options that you can use to create a DNS
monitor for your monitor group.
Alerts Tab – Shows what action plan will be used when an alert
occurs. Options on this tab allow you to set up or modify an action
plan that responds to alerts generated by the current DNS monitor.
You can also configure how an alert will affect the monitor group’s
health. It can result in a Warning state, a Critical state, or can have
no impact on health. New alerts cannot be added to DNS monitors.
Locations Tab – Specifies the Data Collector Location to use as a
DNS monitor for your monitor group.
SmartLinks Tab – Contains the options for specifying a link to
associate with a particular monitor or metric.
Attributes Tab – Contains the options for specifying which attributes
are applied to this monitor for Status page sorting.
Monitor Groups Tab – Contains the options that you can use to
specify which monitor groups the monitor is used with. This tab is
available when you open the Add Monitor window by selecting
Monitors from the Configure menu. It is not available when you
open the Add Monitor window from the Monitor Group Editor.
Access Control Tab – Contains the options for specifying which user
groups have read, write, and delete permissions for this monitor.
Down Time Tab – Contains the options for applying downtime to
this monitor.
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
