Create a Global Console agent for each e-Biz Impact server you want to monitor. Each agent uses SNMP to monitor all clusters associated with a specified e-Biz Impact server.
In the Global Console main window, right-click e-Biz Impact 5.4 Global Console in the tree view and select New | Agent. A new agent icon displays in the tree view and in the right pane.
When the Agent Properties window opens, complete these options on the General tab:
Agent Name – enter a unique name for this agent, or accept the default. By default new agents are named Agent1, Agent2, Agent3, and so on. Accept the default or enter a different name.
Host Name – specify the name of the host on which the e-Biz Impact server is running.
SNMP Community String – the string of the SNMP service running on the e-Biz Impact server. The default value is “public.” Change this value only if the value for the server was also changed.
Refresh Rates – the refresh rate, in seconds, at which the Global Console polls data from the SNMP service.
SNMP Port – the port on which the e-Biz Impact server is publishing SNMP. This port allows you to run multiple SNMP services on the same server (Window 2000 or later) without conflict.
Default – select this option to use the default SNMP port number, which is 161.
Custom – select this option to use a port other than the default. After you select this option, enter the port number in the provided field.
Automatically Refresh After Executing A Command – select this option to refresh the console after a user executes a command.
Reconnect at Startup – select this option to automatically reconnect this agent when the Global Console starts.
Click OK to save your entries and close the window.
When you create an agent, by default the agent monitors all cluster objects. However, after you save a new agent, you can modify the agent’s properties and specify which objects to monitor.
