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.

Receive alerts when device configurations change

Receive alerts when device configurations change

You can set monitoring to create an alert when the configuration of a monitored device is changed.

When you enable this feature, each time a device configuration change is detected, an alert is generated. You can specify which types of changes you want to detect for the device assets, by selecting them in the Device dialog box, accessible from the Asset History Configuration page.

Examples of configuration change include the addition of a disk, a new logical drive, an increase or decrease of memory, a partition change, and so on. For complete information about the Asset History Configuration page, and how to select configuration changes, see Configure asset history subscriptions.

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.
2.
Select the Enable Configuration Change Alert check box.
3.
Click Save.

Schedule a Maintenance Window during which time alerts are not collected from a device

Schedule a Maintenance Window during which time alerts are not collected from a device

Using maintenance windows enables you to set aside certain time slots for performing server maintenance tasks without the monitoring function producing excessive alerts that might flood the system.

You are not limited to using one Maintenance Window for each monitored device. You can create a library of Maintenance Windows, and apply combinations of them to monitored devices depending on your needs.

1.
Go to the Maintenance Window 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 Maintenance Windows.
c.
Select Choose Action > New.

Create and assign monitoring-specific roles

Create and assign monitoring-specific roles

You can create user roles that regulate the ability to work with alerts and profiles.

For instance, you can create a role for a staff member who can react to alerts, and create Service Desk tickets from them, but who cannot add profiles to devices or set Maintenance Windows.

If the Organization component is enabled on your appliance, the permissions available to User Roles depends on the Organization Role assigned to the organization. See Managing Organization Roles and User Roles.

1.
Go to the Role 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 Settings, then click Roles.
c.
Select Choose Action > New to display the Role Detail page.
2.
In the Name field, provide a name, such as Monitoring Alert Attendant.
3.
In the Description field, provide a brief description of the role, such as Used for support staff with responsibility for responding to alerts.
This description appears on the Roles list along with the name.
