Adding More Monitors

In OpManager, monitors are used to track the health and performance of devices in real time. The following monitors are associated automatically based on device type during discovery, and additional monitors can be added as needed.

• Servers: CPU, Memory, Disk Utilization, Partition Details.
• Routers: CPU, Memory, Buffer Hits/Misses, Temperature.
• Switches: CPU, Memory, Backplane Utilization.
• Firewalls: CPU, Memory, and Connection Count.

Similarly, other categories also have a few resources monitored by default. Apart from these, you can add more monitors like SysUptime monitors, various Disk I/O and Disk Usage-related monitors, Partition monitors, etc., for additional parameters.

How to add additional monitors?

OpManager allows you to extend monitoring by associating monitors with devices or templates. You can add monitors to individual devices directly from their snapshot page or configure them in bulk by following the steps below:

Via Device Templates:

1. Go to Settings > Configuration > Device Templates.
2. From the list of templates, select the template for the device type to which you want to associate more monitors. Use the search bar to locate your device template quickly.
3. In the device template, from the Monitors column, click the Add button.
4. All the monitors are listed. Select the required monitors from here and click OK.
5. To save this setup, press Save or press Save and Associate to directly associate the selected monitor to the devices mapped to the Device Template. Press Copy to copy the Device Template.

Via the Performance Monitors page:

1. Navigate to Settings → Monitoring → Performance Monitors.
2. Locate the monitor you wish to associate and click Associate.
3. In the pop-up, choose the target devices and confirm the association.
