MonitorMagic Implementation Guide Version 1.0, October 2004 16. Applying SNMP policies The snmp hosts are in place, so we can now apply SNMP policies to the hosts. Use the same method as when using Windows policies to drag and drop the policy onto a SNMP host. This example uses the generic SNMP policy “MonitorMagic – SNMP examples”, which can be activated on any Windows server that runs the SNMP service. When applied, close the network browse tree on the right-hand side of the screen to enlarge the client workspace. Scroll the monitor window all the way to the bottom to inspect the newly added SNMP monitors. Use this same mechanism to apply Compaq Insight Manager, Dell OpenManage, IBM Director, or any of the Network devices policies. The APC PowerChute policy is also SNMP enabled. All these policies have pre-configured rules and notification, so you don’t need to worry about any additional configuration. The default settings should work fine in most circumstances. © 2004, Tools4ever – www.tools4ever.com, Page 16 of 23
MonitorMagic Implementation Guide Version 1.0, October 2004 17. Create a ping policy for routers and servers The final step towards a complete basic MonitorMagic implementation is setting up support for uptime alerts and reports. To do this, we use the basic ping monitor in addition with database storage, email notifications and pre-configured reports. To create a new policy, right-click on the Central monitor policies branch as shown below and select Create policy. Specify the name “Ping” and click OK. A new empty policy is now available, so select it and right-click, followed by Add monitor and Ping. We will start by adding the host names for each Windows server, so click Add in the next dialog. © 2004, Tools4ever – www.tools4ever.com, Page 17 of 23
