Manage Servers

Use the Servers List to manage server properties, such as:

SNMP profile. The management console requires a SNMP profile with valid SNMP user credentials to perform a Performance via SNMP investigation on a server.
If you do not specify a valid SNMP profile, the management console attempts to discover the SNMP profile.
Monitor feed assignment. You can override the monitor feed assignment that is automatically maintained by the management console to assign a particular monitor feed to a server, and choose to permanently override the assignment.
If you want the management console to monitor server traffic from more than one monitor feed, for example when the network fails over to a different network path, or server traffic is load-balanced between two switches, you can assign a secondary monitor feed to the server’s assigned monitor feed.
TCP/IP Host Name Resolution. The management console automatically resolves the DNS host name for a server that matches a specified server subnet.
For manually added or imported servers, edit the server properties to enter the host name.
Server maintenance schedule. The management console assigns a default maintenance schedule to a server, but you must assign a scheduled period for maintenance.
Incident response. By default, the management console does not launch an action in response to a server incident.
If you plan to enable a Performance via SNMP investigation, it is recommended that you also assign an SNMP profile to the server.

To limit the TCP ports that are monitored by the management console, assign a server or a server subnet to a port exclusion.
