Note: You can also add devices automatically, using Network Discovery.
Navigate to Administration > Devices > Create a Device.
Select the device type and provide the device name and IP address or fully qualified host name.
The tag fields can be used to give devices arbitrary tags that can be used to search for them later. For example, you might use a tag to record the location of the device (HQ or CHICAGO), or the function of the device (ROUTER or SWITCH). Add a device with a value for Tag 1 of ROUTER for use later in this evaluation.
Leave the Create New Tests After Creating This Device box checked and click Create Device.
To create tests for the new device, first select the type of tests. You can use built-in or user-defined Application Profiles (which auto-discover a filtered list of tests) or user-defined monitoring profiles (which define a specific list of tests), or you can manually choose which monitors and tests to add, in which case Traverse automatically discovers all monitors and tests for the device.
If you want to use SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or WMI (Windows Management Instrumentation) monitors, you must enter the SNMP community string and port number or WMI domain username and password.
Once the device is added, it appears on the Administration > Devices page. Click Tests under the Modify column to manage all tests for that device. Then, click the icon under the Modify column next to a test to update the test parameters, such as the polling interval and the values for warning and critical thresholds.
Navigate to Status > Devices to view a status summary for all devices. From here click on a device name to drill down and see the status of the tests for that device, and then click on a test name to see details and graphs of short- and long- term history.
