Configuring External Monitors

In environments where multiple monitoring solutions - one each for every component silo - are deployed, you may want to seamlessly integrate the eG monitoring console with a few or all of these solutions, so as to enable effective investigation and swift identification of the source of problems with the associated components.

Using the eG administrative interface, you can now configure the URLs for launching third-party management consoles from the eG monitoring console. Each such URL is called an External Monitor. By associating these monitors with specific component silos, you can enable users to the eG monitoring console to quickly drill down to third-party consoles whenever the associated components experience performance issues, use the expertise of the third-party tools to analyze these issues, and thus accurately diagnose their root-cause.

To configure external monitors, do the following:

• To access this page, click on the icon available in the Admin tab. Then, select the External Monitors option in the Miscellaneous tile.
• The external monitors that are cuently available will be listed in this page.
• If no monitors pre-exist, the message " No External Monitors Found ! " will appear.
• To add a external monitor, click on the Add New External Monitor button. Then, select the Component Type and the Component Name in the Listbox. Now enter the Tool Name and the URL in the available textbox and click on the Add button. The new external monitor will be added to the list.
• You can modify an external monitor by clicking the Modify icon which is present near each of the available external monitors.
• You can also delete an external monitor by clicking the Delete icon present near each of the available external monitors.
