Monitor > Monitor Lists

This operation allows the user to edit any of the lists used in creating Monitor or SNMP Sets.

Note: The Counter Objects, Counters, Instances and Services lists can be initially populated with the Update Lists by Scan feature. Additionally these lists, as well as Services, Processes can be populated with the import of a  Monitor Set . MIB OIDs can be populated with the Add SNMP Object feature or the import of a SNMP Set.

Counter Objects

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of Counter Objects required by the edit Monitor Set feature. That feature uses the PerfMon combination of Object/Counter/Instance to collect counter information. Counter Objects are the primary reference (the user needs to create this record first) before adding a Counter or Instance (both secondary records).

Counters

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of Counters required by the edit Monitor Set feature. That feature uses the PerfMon combination of Object/Counter/Instance to collect counter information. Counters are a secondary reference (the user needs to create a Counter Object record first) and the entry will ask the user to select the Counter Object that the Counter is associated to.

Instances

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of Instances required by the edit Monitor Set feature. That feature uses the PerfMon combination of Object/Counter/Instance to collect counter information. Instances are a secondary reference (the user needs to create a Counter Object record first) and the entry will ask the user to select the Counter Object that the Instance is associated to.

Note: Although it is required by the use of Windows PerfMon that a Counter Object have at least one Counter associated, it is not required that an Instance be available.

Services

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of Windows Services required by the edit Monitor Set feature to monitor the activity of a Windows Service. This list can also be populated with the execution of the Update Lists By Scan feature OR the import of a Monitor Set.

Processes

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of Windows Processes required by the edit Monitor Set feature when monitoring for the transition of a process (equivalent to an application)     to or from a 'Running' state. This list is NOT populated via the Update Lists by Scan feature.

MIB OIDs

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of SNMP MIB Objects required by the edit SNMP Sets feature to monitor the activity of a SNMP Agents . This list can be populated with the import of a SNMP Set OR the execution of the Add SNMP Object feature. MIB Objects are references to values that can be monitored on SNMP Agents (for example: the MIB Object of 'sysUptime' returns how much time has passed since the device was powered-up.)

SNMP Devices

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of SNMP Devices that are used in the 'Auto Deployment' of SNMP Sets. The user will select from this list, if they want a particular SNMP Set to be automatically deployed once the LAN Watch discovers SNMP Agent it 'thinks' corresponds to the item selected from this list (see the next paragraph on SNMP Services).

SNMP Services

Presents a list (or opportunity to add a list) of SNMP Services that are used in determining what type of SNMP device responding to the LAN Watch function. An SNMP Agent will respond to the LAN Watch function by saying what 'sysServices' it provides. From this number and the devices it is related to in the SNMP Devices list, the system interprets what type of SNMP Device has been discovered. This table comes 'seeded' with information on basic devices. System updates (or customers themselves) may update this table form time to time.
