Adding resource monitors for discovered machines and ports

Once you have discovered machines and ports, you can set up resource monitors for them.

To set up the resource monitors:

  1. Select the individual check box associated with each resource you want to add, or click Select All to select all resources.
  2. Click Add Checked. An informational message appears in the detail frame, stating that the network resources you selected have been successfully added to OpenEdge Management.
  3. Click OK to close the informational message. The network resources you identified appear in the list frame, as shown:
  4. Discovered network resources also follow a naming convention. These resource names are derived from the hostname associated with the discovered resource and a character string derived from the resource's type and port number. Each of these elements is separated by a colon, using the following format:

    resource typeresource port number:discovered resource 
    

    For example, if an activity on port 80 on a machine with a host name of DELL1 is discovered, the resource name that OpenEdge Management generates is HTTP:DELL1. In contrast, if an activity on port 1234 on a machine with a host name of DELL2 is discovered, the resource name that OpenEdge Management generates is tcp1234:DELL2.

    When you add the discovered network resource to OpenEdge Management, the colon is replaced by an underscore; for example, tcp23:nbaspauldixp becomes tcp23_nbaspauldixp.

  5. Select a newly added network resource to display its default monitoring plans and rules. You can now work with the monitor for the newly discovered resource just as you would any other monitor.
Accessing a previously discovered resource

You can later reaccess any discovered resource that you do not add to OpenEdge Management at the time of discovery. The results are retained from only one previous discovery process and are replaced once a subsequent session concludes.

To reaccess a previously discovered resource:

  1. Click Resources on the OpenEdge Management menu bar.
  2. Click Discover Network Resources. The Discover Network Resources page opens.
  3. Click Previous Results.
