Adding System Components
Component type – The type list defaults to the kind of
component that was selected when you clicked the Add
button to open the Add System Component dialog box. Select
the type of component you want to add and configure.
Component – Specify a meaningful name that allows you to
identify the specific component you are adding. You can add
multiple instances of a component using the following
syntax:
name[[[numbers…numbers]]]
For example, e[[[8..10]]] creates the following
components: e8, e9, and e10.
Data Sources to Add – The data sources applicable to the type of
component you are adding are listed. Select the data sources
that you want to use. When you click OK the associated tabs are
displayed so that you can configure the selected data sources.
3. The Type list defaults to the kind of component you are adding.
In the Name box, specify a meaningful name that allows you to
identify the specific component you are adding. Then click OK
to return to the System Editor.
4. The newly added component appears in the Components list
(for example, if you add a disk component named “C:”, it is
added under Disk). Select this component in the Components
list and click Add Data Source to display the options you need to
fill out in order to configure the data sources that OneSight
metrics use to obtain information about this system component.
5. After supplying information about the new system component,
click OK to update the system.
