Install a License to Use Uptime Infrastructure Monitor
See License Information for more information.
Add Systems
The fastest way to begin monitoring your infrastructure is to use Auto Discovery to efficiently assemble a monitored inventory.
Afterward, you can fine-tune your monitored inventory. See Managing Your Infrastructure for more information.
Add Users
You will need to create user roles (e.g., for administration, alert investigation, and report access) and assign individual users or user groups to them. See User Management for more information.
Secure the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor Virtual Appliance
If you have installed Uptime Infrastructure Monitor as a VMware virtual appliance, the default user ID and password used to access the virtual OS is root and uptime, respectively. This level of access is required for system-level Uptime Infrastructure Monitor tasks such as custom scripting, debugging, and working with the database. For security purposes, it is strongly recommended that you change the default root-level password provided for the Uptime Infrastructure Monitor virtual appliance OS.
Secure the Uptime Controller
If you are planning to use the Uptime Controller, there are further steps to consider. See Controller Security for more information.
