Configuring Service Monitors
Sample Every: – Specifies how often samples are
taken for this monitor. Refer to, ―Sample Every Settings,‖ later
in this chapter for a description of these settings.
Test – When you add or modify a monitor, you can test General
settings to determine if they are set appropriately. After clicking
the Test button, you will see messages in the status window as
the test runs and when the test completes.
3. Each monitor that you add must have a unique name. You can
let OneSight create a unique name using the Service
specifications you supply, or you can type in your own name
for the monitor.
4. On the General tab, type in the DNS name, NetBIOS name, user
name, password, and domain of the machine you want to
monitor. If you have a OneSight Data Collector or Remote
Agent installed on the machine you want to monitor, the
authentication information (Username, Password, and Domain)
is not required.
5. Click Discover Services. Using the login information you have
specified, the available services on that machine are identified
and listed here.
6. Select the service you want to monitor in the Service Name list
box.
7. To verify that the monitor will work as configured, click the
Test button. The Monitor Test window provides information
about the success or failure of the test and indicates what may
be causing any problem.
8. If the test succeeds, click OK in the Add Monitor dialog box to
save these basic Service monitor settings. You can now add this
monitor to a monitor group. Refer to Adding Monitors to a
Monitor Group in Chapter 4.
