Setup Monitoring Profile Action

The Setup Monitoring Profile action provides user interface for adding and configuring network monitoring tools including alerts, charts and trackers for an existing device.

All the tools available for a device are classified into several groups according to the type of monitoring they provide:

Monitoring groups available for a particular device depend on device type and data it provides.

For example:

  • Printer monitoring tools are supported only if the device has prtGeneralTable SNMP variable;
  • Presence of VMware group depends on vmTable variable;
  • Tools from Device Availability group can be used for any (IP-based) network device.

To generate monitoring tools for a device:

  • Select Setup Monitoring Profile item in the device context menu.
  • Select groups of tools to create.
  • A separate configuration window will appear for each selected option. Add and configure one or more tools for this group.
