SNMP Host Selection Help - Page 1


This is the page where you tell NISCA what hosts it should monitor.

If you want to add a new host to be monitored, enter its hostname or IP address in the first field and hit enter (or click on "Add Host"). You can also put the port to talk to after a ":" after the hostname.

If you have previously deleted a host that you were monitoring, and left its collected statistics in the database when you did, its hostname will be added to a dropdown box labeled "Re-add orphaned host." If you want to re-add a host in this predicament, select it in that box and you will be taken through the process of re-adding it and its interfaces. It will remember what community(ies) you were using on it before, but the list of interfaces and the naming method will have to be re-set just like it was a new host.

If you want to delete a host (that is, stop monitoring it), click on the button in the "Del" column next to the host to delete. You can delete a host but leave all its collected stats as-is, or delete the stats along with the host; the next page will ask this.

To change the communities/interfaces monitored on a host, click on the button in the "IFs" column next to the host you want to change.

You may or may not have to click the "Go" button at the bottom of the page to submit the form.
