Bulk Configuration of Monitors

Introduction:

This section is common to all the editions of IT360 - Professional Edition, Enterprise Edition [Probes only] and MSP Edition [Probes only].

On selecting this option, you would be able to perform Bulk Administrative operations on Monitors.

How to Perform Bulk Administrative operation?

1. Go to 'Admin -> Servers & Applications -> Monitors and Configurations -> Bulk Configuration'.

2. You will be able to view the Monitors Bulk configuration List View page, where all the available monitors are listed.

3. Select the checkbox(s) corresponding to the Monitor(s), on which you would like to perform a certain action - such as Managing / Unmanaging or Update Username / Password, etc.

4. Select the Action from the Dropdown list. This applies the Action on the selected Monitors.

5. Also, using the Filter By option, you may apply filter, based on Monitor Types, and also apply the configuration / Actions.

List of Bulk Administrative operations Applicable on Monitors:

You can perform the following Actions on the Monitors, in bulk;

• Manage/Unmanage Monitors - This option enables you to choose the monitors that you want to monitor, or not. For license information, the count of the 'number of monitors' would be based on the number of Managed Monitors.

• Unmanage and Reset Status - This option unmanages the selected monitors, and removes all the alarms, generated previously. Data Collection does not happen, once you unmanage the monitors.

• Update IP - This option enables you to change the IP address of the selected monitors.

• Delete - This deletes the selected monitors.

• Update Username/Password - This option enables you to bulk update the usernames and passwords, across monitor types. For example, you have five tomcat servers running, then you can select all the five tomcat servers from the list. Click on Update Username/Password. Your selection would be listed, and you can enter the Username and Password that is common across all the five tomcat servers.

• Edit Display Names - This option enables you to bulk edit the Display Names of the Monitors.

• Update Polling Interval - This option enables you to bulk update poll intervals, across monitor types.

• Copy and Paste Monitors - This option enables you to copy and paste the configuration of one monitor, to create new monitors of the same type. For e.g., if you want to monitor the apaches, running in 10 different servers, then you can configure the monitoring parameters of one apache in Host1 and copy those configurations to the other apaches in Host2 , Host3 ..to..Host10. On selecting the Copy and Paste option, you need to enter the host names of the servers, to which the configurations have to be pasted (The host names can be given as comma separated values). Enter the SubNet mask too.

Notes:

1. If you want to Copy and Paste the configurations of the Server monitor, then you can choose to copy the configuration of the services, running inside the Server, or only the Server configuration.

2. Currently, we do not support the Copy and Paste function for the following monitors: Custom Monitors, Java Runtime, php, http URLs, http URL Sequence, Web Services, Web Server, JMX Application, Ping Monitor, Glassfish, Silverstream, MQ Series, Office Sharepoint.
