OneSight Administrator Guide

Configuring a Profile Monitor
To create a monitor for a web component such as an Oracle
database, you choose the Oracle profile monitor and apply it to a
specific system on which an Oracle database is maintained. When
you configure a profile monitor, you direct OneSight to monitor the
specified type of web component on the specified computer.
When you create a profile monitor the Monitor Creation Wizard
requests the required discovery information to successfully apply
the profile.
In addition to creating one monitor at a time, you can apply a
profile to multiple systems to create several monitors at once. When
you do this, discovery information is not requested. The profile is
applied to the systems regardless of the configuration of the
systems. For this reason, it is recommended that you apply a profile
to multiple systems immediately following multiple system
discovery. Refer to Chapter 7 for information on multiple system
discovery.
What You Need to Know About Your System
To set up a profile monitor, system-specific information must be
entered for each machine that uses the profile. As you create a
profile monitor, you will need to identify the systems and describe
their properties, including the following:
Machine identification information. For example, to monitor an
NT operating system on a specific machine, you will need to
supply an IP address or network name.
Identification of components on a machine. For example, you
must identify each disk on a machine that has multiple disks if
you want to monitor disk space on all of them.
The appropriate access information for the monitored system. For
example, Perfmon user name and password information must be
provided to allow access to the monitored systems.
