Update Lists By Scan

Monitor > Update Lists By Scan

  • This page applies to the following products: On Premises, Kaseya Advanced, Kaseya Essentials, IT Center

The Update Lists by Scan page scans one or more machine IDs and returns lists of counter objects, counters, instances and services to select from when creating or editing a monitor set. Lists display in the Monitor > Monitor Lists page. Typically only a handful of machines of each operating system type need to be scanned to provide a set of comprehensive lists.

Update Lists by Scan also updates the list of event types available for monitoring using Monitoring > Alerts > Event Logs. You can see the list of event types available by displaying the Agent > Event Log Settings page.

Schedule

Click Schedule to display the Scheduler window, which is used throughout the VSA to schedule a task. Schedule a task once or periodically. Each type of recurrence—Once, Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly—displays additional options appropriate for that type of recurrence. Periodic scheduling includes setting start and end dates for the recurrence. Not all options are available for each task scheduled. Options can include:

  • Distribution Window - Reschedules the task to a randomly selected time no later than the number of periods specified, to spread network traffic and server loading.
  • Skip if offline - If checked and the machine is offline, skip and run the next scheduled period and time. If blank and the machine is offline, run the task as soon as the machine is online again.
  • Power up if offline - Windows only. If checked, powers up the machine if offline. Requires Wake-On-LAN or vPro and another managed system on the same LAN.
  • Exclude the following time range - If checked, specifies a date/time range to not perform the task.
