Monitoring a service

A service is a check point, or indicator, to be monitored on a host, e.g.: percentage of partition used on a server, ink level in a printer.

To see the list of monitored services, go to Configuration > Services > Services by host.

You can:

• create a service manually
• discover services automatically.

Monitoring a service

1. Create a service:

   • Use the host autodiscovery feature: the corresponding services will be created automatically.

   • Create a host manually using a Monitoring Connector: the services for the host will be created automatically.

   • Use the service discovery feature.

   • Create the service manually and, in the Template field, select a service template (coming from a Monitoring Connector or not).

2. Deploy the configuration.
