Provide Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agent connection information to allow the Monitoring Station to detect systems that have the Agent installed on them. Select the Use Uptime Agent Global Configuration check box if this information is configured (see Configuring Global Data Collection Methods for more information); otherwise complete the following options:

• Agent Port Number
  The port through which the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Agents communicate with the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Monitoring Station.
• Use SSL (HTTPS)
  Select this check box if the Agent securely communicates with the Monitoring Station using SSL.

...

• Windows Domain (optional)
  The Windows domain in which WMI is implemented.
• UsernameUser Name
  The name of the account with access to WMI on the Windows domain.
• Password
  The password for the account with access to WMI on the windows domain.

Network

Device

Provide connection information to allow Auto Discovery to scan for network devices. To comment to SNMP-based devices, select the Use SNMP Global Connection Configuration check box, and then choose which version of SNMP is in use (see Global SNMP Configuration Settings); otherwise complete the configuration options as described in the next subject, "Devices using Net-SNMP."

Devices using Net-SNMP

Provide SNMP connection information to allow Auto Discovery to scan for servers with Net-SNMP. Select the Use Global SNMP Connection Configuration check box if this information is configured (see Global SNMP Configuration Settings for more information); otherwise select the SNMP Version that your servers are using, then complete the appropriate options:

...

• Is Device Pingable? (appears only when using the Network Device option)
  Check this box if you can use a ping to verify the status of this device.

Auto Discovery for VMware vCenter Inventories

A VMware vCenter server acts as a central control point for a VMware vSphere datacenter. It includes ESX hosts, VMs, as well as groupings such as clusters, datacenters, vApps, and resource pools. A VMware vCenter server's inventory, system configurations, storage profiles, and performance data can be represented in Uptime Infrastructure Monitor alongside physical systems and network devices. When a VMware vCenter is added, all of its resources are detected and can be automatically imported.

VMware

Provide VMware vCenter connection information to allow Auto Discovery to import its resources by completing the appropriate options:

• Display Name
  The name that you want to display for the VMware vCenter server.
• Host Name
  The server's hostname or IP address.
• Web Services Port
  Accept or modify the default port through which Uptime Infrastructure Monitor connects to the server.
• Username and Password
  Login credentials for the VMware vCenter administrator.
• Notification Settings
  When a vSync operation is performed to check for changes to the VMware vCenter inventory, these check boxes indicate whether Uptime Infrastructure Monitor sends notifications about, or performs scripted actions in response to, newly discovered ESX servers or VMs. (For more information, see Managing vSync.)
• Additional VM Guest Performance Data Collection
  Enable additional monitoring for VMware vCenter VMs using the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor agent or WMI. (See Standalone Monitoring for vCenter VMs for more information.)
  • For the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor agent, indicate the port on which it is listening, and whether it is securely communicating with Uptime Infrastructure Monitor using SSL.
  • For data collection via WMI, indicate the host and domain on which WMI is implemented, and the username and password required for access.
    In both cases, you can also use a global configuration if they are configured. See Configuring Global Data Collection Methods for more information.

• Group
  The group into which newly-discovered data is placed.

IBM pSeries LPAR Server (HMC)

...

Provide HMC-Managed pSeries server connection information to allow Auto Discovery to find devices by completing the appropriate options:

• HMC Hostname
  The name of the system on which the HMC is running.
• Username and Password
  The credentials required to log into the HMC.
• Element Group
  The group into which newly-discovered systems will be placed.

Set the search scope

Restrict the range the Auto-Discovery Wizard searches using the Discover Systems/Network Devices page. Indicate which subnets or IP address ranges to scan, using one of the following formats:

...

• Any servers added:
  • MySQL Checks
    • MySQL Basic Checks (runs a query to test query engine)
    • MySQL Advanced Checks (pulls performance information from the DB engine)
