You use monitor service on a site server to perform agentless monitoring. By default, monitor service is installed on the Notification Server computer. Because monitoring can be resource-intensive, you can distribute the monitoring load to other site servers to reduce the load on Notification Server. You can set up as many monitoring site servers as needed.
See About agentless monitoring.
To install the monitor service on a remote site server, the server must be running one of the following operating systems:
The Potential Monitor Servers filter automatically determines possible site servers. The Potential Monitor Servers filter is available on the Management menu, under Filters. Your agentless monitor policies do not require any special configuration to work with a monitor service on one or more site servers.
Table: Process for setting up a remote monitoring site server
Step | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
Step 1 | Install the Symantec Management Agent on the site server. | A remote monitoring server and its dependencies require the Symantec Management Agent. If the Symantec Management Agent is not installed on the site server, install it. |
Step 2 | Configure connection profiles on Notification Server. | Connection profiles must be configured on Notification Server for remote monitoring to work. Configure your connection profiles before you install the Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component on the site server. |
Step 3 | Install the Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component on the site server. | A remote monitoring server depends on the Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component to communicate with network devices and computers. When the Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component is installed, the credential manager client computer component is also installed. See Installing the Pluggable Protocols Architecture (PPA) client computer component on a site server. |
Step 4 | Add monitor service to one or more site servers. | You use the Site Management page to add monitor service to a site server. |
Step 5 | (Optional) Remove monitor service from Notification Server. | You can remove monitor service from Notification Server to reduce the load on this server. |
Step 6 | Configure the remote monitoring server settings. | You can configure the remote monitoring server settings. These are the global settings that apply to all monitor site servers. |
Step 7 | (Optional) View the monitor site server reports. | The monitor site server reports let you determine which site servers monitor the resources that your agentless monitor policies target. |
