After configuring the Norton AntiVirus Monitor, you need to assign it to the device(s) that you
want to check are running the monitor. In the next steps of this example, you will assign the
monitor to a single device, and then, using the Action Builder, configure and assign an Email
Action that will notify you when the monitor goes down.
Tip: You can also assign the monitor to multiple devices at one time via Bulk Field Change.
For more information, see Assigning a monitor to multiple devices (on page 227).
