Adding to NetCrunch
How to add the things NetCrunch is built from: nodes, monitoring targets, atlas views and alerts.
In this chapter
- Adding Nodes to MonitoringThis topic describes how to add nodes to the NetCrunch monitoring setup. It covers accessing the Add Node popup and adding nodes via the Networking and Logical sections. Networking options include adding IP devices, scanning IPv4 subnets, searching AD containers, and importing from a file. Logical options include adding cloud services, composite status nodes, REST receivers, and monitoring probes.
- Adding Targets to MonitoringThis topic provides instructions for adding monitoring targets to NetCrunch, including nodes, sensors, and data collectors. It covers configuring network services, operating systems, SNMP, virtualization platforms, and setting up alerting rules and dependencies. Additionally, it guides users on adding new nodes and using monitoring templates for efficient management.
- Adding Atlas ViewsNetCrunch's Network Atlas offers five main view types: Graphical Data Views, Node Group Views, IP Network Views, Business Service Views, and Folders. These views provide intuitive network visualization, dynamic node categorization, and automatic IP grouping. Adding new views is easy with a wizard or keyboard shortcut, enhancing efficient network monitoring and management.
- Adding AlertsConfigure alerting by attaching conditions to monitored data on nodes, sensors, or services. Alerts define when NetCrunch should react to changes in state or thresholds.
