Create and Apply an Autowatcher to a System

For a SystemEDGE in managed mode, you can specify an Autowatcher in a policy or in a template. The centralized configuration provides consistent monitoring across all servers. Configure an Autowatcher in a policy or a template and apply the Autowatcher to monitor resources on managed systems.

Follow these steps:

1. Click the Resources tab, open the Configure pane, expand Policies or Monitoring Templates, and click SystemEDGE.

   The Available Policies pane or Template List opens.

2. Open a policy or template and click Autowatchers.

   The Generic Autowatchers pane opens.

3. Select the Process/Service tab if you want to add Process or Service Autowatchers.
4. Click (Add) on the toolbar.

   The Autowatcher Details pane opens.

5. Specify the required values and click Save.

   The Autowatcher is saved.

6. Click Action, Apply.

   The machine selection page opens.

7. Select the appropriate systems and click Apply.

   The Autowatcher is added to the SystemEDGE configurations of the selected systems.

   SystemEDGE creates monitors automatically based on the Autowatcher settings.

   Note: For SystemEDGE in unmanaged mode, specify the Autowatchers in the sysedge.cf file. When SystemEDGE is changed to managed mode, Autowatchers that are defined before SystemEDGE registers with CA Server Automation can be imported into a policy.
