Value is 'AS400/iSeries'. | | username | The username of the IBM i server. | | timeout | The time out value in seconds. | | password | The password of the IBM i server. | | forceadd | This parameter is used to force Applications Manager to bypass availability and other authentication-related checks and add the monitor. Possible values are:
| | addgivenname | Specifies if you want to set the host name of the monitor as the Host Name / IP Address that you have configured in the API. (true or false) | | passphrase | Specify a Passphrase if the private key is protected with one for SSH Authentication. | ## FreeBSD ### Discovery via Telnet **Syntax:** ``` https://[HOST]:[PORT]/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=[APIKEY]&type=[TYPE]&displayname=[DISPLAYNAME]&host=[HOST]&os=[OS]&username=[USERNAME]&mode=[MODE]&snmptelnetport=[TELNETPORT]&password=[PASSWORD]&prompt=[PROMPT]&timeout=[TIMEOUT]&addgivenname=[true/false] ``` Sample Request: ``` https://apm-prod-server:8443/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=aaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccc&type=servers&displayname=apmfreebsd&host=freebsd-host1-2k23&subnet=255.255.255.0&pollInterval=5&os=FreeBSD&username=admin&password=appman&mode=TELNET&snmptelnetport=23&prompt=$&timeout=30&addgivenname=false ``` ### Discovery via SSH **Syntax:** ``` https://[HOST]:[PORT]/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=[APIKEY]&type=[TYPE]&displayname=[DISPLAYNAME]&host=[HOST]&os=[OS]&username=[USERNAME]&mode=[MODE]&snmptelnetport=[TELNETPORT]&password=[PASSWORD]&prompt=[PROMPT]&timeout=[TIMEOUT]&addgivenname=[true/false] ``` Sample Request: ``` https://apm-prod-server:8443/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=aaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccc&mode=SSH&subnet=255.255.255.0&password=r10baleM%252oo2&os=FreeBSD&snmptelnetport=22&displayname=APMFreeBSDSSH&host=freebsd-host2-2k23&type=servers&prompt=%24&timeout=30&username=test&addgivenname=false ``` ### Discovery via SNMP **Syntax:** **V1/V2** ``` https://[HOST]:[PORT]/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=[APIKEY]&type=[TYPE]&displayname=[DISPLAYNAME]&host=[HOST]&snmpPort=[SNMPPORT]&os=[OS]&mode=[MODE]&timeout=[TIMEOUT]&snmpCommunityString=[snmpCommunityString]&snmpVersionValue=[snmpVersion]&addgivenname=[true/false] ``` **V3** ``` https://[HOST]:[PORT]/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=[APIKEY]&type=[TYPE]&displayname=[DISPLAYNAME]&host=[HOST]&port=[PORT]&snmpCommunityString=[SNMPCOMMUNITYSTRING]&timeout=[TIMEOUT]&os=[OS]&mode=[MODE]&snmpSecurityLevel=[SNMPSECURITYLEVEL]&snmpUserName=[SNMPUSERNAME]&snmpAuthPassword=[SNMPAUTHPASSWORD]&snmpAuthProtocol=[SNMPAUTHPROTOCOL]&snmpPrivPassword=[SNMPPRIVPASSWORD]&snmpPrivProtocol=[SNMPPRIVPROTOCOL]&snmpVersionValue=[SNMPVERSIONVALUE]&snmpContextName=[SNMPCONTEXTNAME]&addgivenname=[true/false] ``` **Sample Request:** **V1/V2** ``` https://apm-prod-server:8443/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=aaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccc&type=servers&displayname=apmsnmpserverv1v2&host=apmsnmp-host-1&snmpPort=161&os=FreeBSD&mode=SNMP&timeout=5&snmpCommunityString=public&snmpVersionValue=v1v2&addgivenname=false ``` **V3** ``` https://apm-prod-server:8443/AppManager/xml/AddMonitor?apikey=aaaaaaaaabbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbccccc&type=servers&displayname=apmsnmpserverv3&host=apmsnmp-host-1&snmpPort=161&os=FreeBSD&mode=SNMP&timeout=5&snmpSecurityLevel=AUTHPRIV&snmpUserName=SHA256AES128&snmpAuthPassword=********&snmpAuthProtocol=SHA_256&snmpPrivPassword=*******&snmpPrivProtocol=AES_128&snmpVersionValue=v3&snmpContextName=&addgivenname=false ``` ### Request Parameters Also refer to the [list of common Request Parameters](https://www.manageengine.com/products/applications_manager/help/addmonitor-api.html#requestparameters). | Field | Description | |---|---| | type | The category type of the monitor you want to add.
