Pause monitoring for a device

Pause monitoring for a device

You can pause monitoring if you want to prevent the monitoring function from producing alerts while you work on, or make changes to, a device.

* 
NOTE: If you want to pause monitoring on a set schedule to accommodate regular maintenance tasks, you can set Maintenance Window schedules. See Schedule a Maintenance Window during which time alerts are not collected from a device.

If you want to pause or resume multiple devices at the same time, see Pause or resume monitoring for multiple devices.

1.
Go to the Monitoring Detail page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Monitoring, then click Devices.
c.
Click the device in the Device column to display its Monitoring Detail page.
2.
Select the option button for Paused and click Save.

An icon in the Status column on the Device page in the Inventory section indicates the paused status:

•
: Device monitoring is paused on this Agent-managed device.
•
: Device monitoring is paused on this Agentless-managed device.

Pause or resume monitoring for multiple devices

Pause or resume monitoring for multiple devices

You can pause monitoring for multiple devices at the same time. You can resume monitoring for multiple devices as well.

1.
Go to the Monitored Devices list page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Monitoring, then click Devices.
2.
Select the check boxes for all the devices you want to pause or resume.
3.
Select Choose Action > Pause Monitoring or Resume Monitoring.
The entry in the Monitoring column for the devices changes to indicate the new state, Paused or Active.

Set the polling interval and any automatic dismissal or deletion of alerts

Set the polling interval and any automatic dismissal or deletion of alerts

You can configure some general monitoring settings for how often the appliance polls the logs for alerts. In addition, you can configure the appliance to dismiss alerts automatically after a number of days you set, and delete alerts too.

Dismissing an alert removes it from view on the Alerts list page and the dashboard widgets. Deleting an alert removes it from the database. You can recover dismissed alerts, but not deleted alerts.

1.
Go to the Monitoring Settings page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Monitoring Settings.
2.
Set the polling interval in minutes.
The minimum interval is 10 minutes.
3.
Optional: Set the appliance to dismiss alerts after a prescribed number of days.
a.
Select Dismiss alerts automatically.
b.
Type the value for the number of days.
4.
Optional: Set the appliance to delete alerts after a prescribed number of days.
a.
Select Delete alerts automatically.
b.
Type the value for the number of days.
5.
Click Save.

Disable ping probe

Disable ping probe

Ping probes are enabled by default when you enable monitoring for any device. However, in certain instances ping probes can engender an alert storm, so the appliance makes it possible to disable ping probes.

Ping sends Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP) echo request packets to its target. Some firewalls block ICMP packets, so it is possible, because of the frequency of the ping probes, to have an enormous number of alerts generated from the probes being rejected. In these cases, disabling ping probes unclutters the monitoring results.

1.
Go to the Monitoring Settings page:
a.
Log in to the appliance Administrator Console, https://appliance_hostname/admin. Or, if the Show organization menu in admin header option is enabled in the appliance General Settings, select an organization in the drop-down list in the top-right corner of the page next to the login information.
b.
On the left navigation bar, click Settings, then click Monitoring Settings on the Control Panel.
2.
Clear Enable ping probe.
3.
Click Save.
