Configuring OneSight Virtual Agent Monitors
example, "false=0;true=1" will convert a "false" reading to a 0
value in OneSight, and this will be displayed in OneSight Status
as "false=0". If you wish to just display the string in OneSight
Status, use a colon, rather than a semicolon, to delimit your
values.
If you neglect to provide a mapping for a specific string,
OneSight will consider this a Sample Failure, and report the
String that was returned.
String Mappings can also be used to translate a number to a
String for display in OneSight Status. This is helpful when
numbers represent an objects state.
Note that string matching is case-insensitive and data that has a
colon cannot be used in string mapping.
Test – When you add or modify a monitor, you can test General

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 OneSight Virtual
Agent specifications you supply, or you can type in your own
name for the monitor.
4. On the General tab, type in the host name for the server you
want to monitor. This value specifies the name or IP address of
the host on which to execute the command.

machine.
6. Select the operating system in use on the host machine.

predefined metric for one of the operating systems, the
