Assign Your Monitoring Profile to a Device Collection

As the administrator or a tenant administrator, you associate the new Uplink Interfaces monitoring profile with a device collection to begin polling. In this case, you associate the profile with the Switches device collection, which is the same device collection that is associated with the factory Network Interfaces monitoring profile. Polling rates are applied to the interfaces in this device collection, as follows:

Important! All custom monitoring profiles are global and visible to tenant administrators. However, the association of a monitoring profile with a specific device collection can be scoped to a tenant.

Follow these steps:

  1. Click Collections from the Monitoring Configuration menu for your Data Aggregator data source.

    A list of device collections displays. Administrators can view the device collections for the tenant they are administering. A tenant administrator can view its own (tenant) list of device collections.

  2. Select the All Switches device collection and click the Monitoring Profiles tab.

    A list displays the monitoring profiles that are associated with the selected device collection. The Network Interface device collection exists in this list.

  3. Click Manage.

    The Assign Collection Monitoring Profiles dialog opens.

  4. Select the Uplink Interfaces monitoring profile and click Add.

    The selected monitoring profile moves to the Assigned Monitoring Profiles list.

  5. Click Save.

    Your changes are saved.
