Monitor – A monitor checks the behavior of a specific web
component using a defined set of performance standards. OneSight
then reports the general health of the component or reports any
problems. OneSight includes monitors for components such as
URLs that are critical to the web site, monitors for Internet servers
such as FTP, DNS, or Mail, and monitors for databases, web servers,
and operating systems. See also Dedicated monitor and Profile.
Monitor group – A collection of monitors used to measure and
manage the availability and performance of your entire web site.
Use monitor groups to group together monitors in any way that is
logical to you.
NetBIOS – The NetBIOS name is the Windows Computer Name. In
Windows NT, this is on the Identification tab in Network
Neighborhood properties tab. In Windows 2000, it is on the
Network Identification tab in My Computer properties. In OneSight,
NetBIOS authentication allows access to data for the Service
Monitor and finding components on Windows systems.
OID – Object Identifier. A sequence of integers used to represent a
node in the MIB tree. OIDs tell the SNMP data source which
managed objects to monitor. See also MIB.
OneSight Console – The tool you use to configure and view the
status of your monitor groups. You can use a web browser on the
OneSight Server to view the Console, or you can open a web
browser on a remote machine.
OneSight Remote Agent – An optional agent that you can install on a
machine you want to monitor. This agent is necessary if you want to
monitor remote logging information for the machine or execute a
remote script, such as a system reboot if an alert occurs.
