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.
2.
Provide the following information:

Option

Description

Name

A name that identifies the Maintenance Window. The name appears on the Maintenance Windows list.

Description

Information that further identifies the purpose and subjects of the window.

Add Automatically To
•
None: This Maintenance Window is not automatically added to a device when monitor is enabled on that device.
•
All: This Maintenance Window is automatically added to a device when monitor is enabled on that device.
3.
In the Schedule section, specify the schedule settings:

Option

Description

Every day/specific day from HH:MM to HH:MM

Start the window daily at a specified time and for a specific duration, or start on a designated day of the week at a specified time.

Run on the nth of every month/specific month from HH:MM to HH:MM

Run on the same day every month, or a specific month, at the specified time and duration.

* 
NOTE: The schedule uses the 24-hour clock.
4.
Click Save.
5.
Apply the Maintenance Window to a monitored device on its Monitoring Detail page:
a.
On the left navigation bar, click Monitoring, then click Devices.
b.
Click the name of a device to display the Monitoring Detail page.
c.
Click in the Maintenance Windows field to view a drop-down list of defined Maintenance Windows, and select the one you want to apply.
6.
Click Save.

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.

* 
NOTE: You cannot edit the predefined Roles: Administrator, No Access, Read Only Administrator, and User.
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.
4.
Click the Monitoring link below Administrator Console Permissions to display the permissions settings for server monitoring.

Disable monitoring for one or more devices

Disable monitoring for one or more devices

When you no longer want to monitor a device, you can disable the capability, after which the device no longer counts against your license limit.

You can disable monitoring for a device in three locations. Two of the locations you use for individual devices and one location you use for a group of devices.

•
Disable monitoring from a device's Device Detail page:
1.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Dashboard.
2.
Click the name of a device.
3.
Scroll down and click Monitoring under Activities to expand the section.
4.
Click Disable Monitoring.
5.
Confirm the action on the confirmation dialog.
•
Disable monitoring from a device's Monitoring Detail page:
1.
On the left navigation bar, click Monitoring, then click Devices.
2.
Click the name of a device.
3.
Click Disable Monitoring.
4.
Confirm the action on the confirmation dialog.
•
Disable monitoring for multiple devices from the Devices list.
1.
On the left navigation bar, click Monitoring, then click Devices.
2.
Select the check boxes preceding all the devices on which you want to disable monitoring.
3.
Select Choose Action > Disable Monitoring.
4.
Confirm the action on the confirmation dialog.

Disabling monitoring does not delete the device's alerts. On the Monitoring Alerts list page, for an alert relating to a disabled device, the Device column entry contains Device deleted or no longer monitored. If you re-enable monitoring for this device, however, the appliance treats the device as a newly monitored device. In this case, the earlier alerts from the device still appear as Device deleted or no longer monitored.

For information on deleting alerts, see Delete alerts.

Enable monitoring for one or more devices

Enable monitoring for one or more devices

When you want to monitor a device, you can start monitoring it. Any devices that are enabled for monitoring count against your license limit.

Important:
 
IMPORTANT: Enabling monitoring on SNMP-managed devices does not count against the license limit.

You can enable monitoring for a device in three locations. Two of the locations you use for individual devices and one location you use for a group of devices.

•
Enable monitoring from a device's Device Detail page:
1.
On the left navigation bar, click Inventory, then click Dashboard.
2.
Click the name of a device.
3.
Scroll down and click Monitoring under Activities to expand the section.

4.
Confirm the action on the confirmation dialog.

Enabling monitoring for a device allows the device to generate alerts when certain thresholds are met. If you re-enable monitoring for this device, the appliance treats the device as a newly monitored device. In this case, the previous device alerts appear as Device deleted or no longer monitored. For information on deleting alerts, see Delete alerts.
