Add a Server Subnet

Add a server subnet to automatically monitor matching server traffic. When specifying a server subnet, specify a range of IP addresses that represents the application servers that you want the management console to monitor. Typically, this range closely aligns with your server VLAN definitions.

After you add a server subnet, edit the server subnet to add an exclusion to ignore traffic from particular servers within the specified range of server IP addresses.

To specify servers you want to

Specify a subnet mask between

Include

  • IPv4: /16 and /31. You cannot specify a /32 subnet mask.

Exclude

  • IPv4: /17 and /32

If necessary, you can add a server to the management console before a monitoring device observes its traffic.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Administration page.
  2. Click Data Monitoring, Servers in the Show Me menu.
  3. (Optional) Choose the domain where you want to add the server subnet.
  4. Scroll to the Server Subnet List and click to add an IPv4 server subnet.

    Add Server Subnets opens.

  5. Complete the fields in Server Subnets and click OK.

    For information about setting server subnet properties, click Help.

    The management console validates the server subnet does not conflict with any existing server subnets you have defined and then adds the server subnet.

  6. Click the link to synchronize monitoring devices with the current client network, server subnet, and application definitions on the management console.

    Monitoring devices temporarily stop monitoring application performance during synchronization. To minimize interruptions to monitoring, complete all of your changes before synchronizing monitoring devices.

    After 5-10 minutes, the Server List automatically displays servers that match the specified server subnet.
