Adding a new host for monitoring

You can use the PATROL KM for UNIX to add a host for remote monitoring. This task provides information about how to add a new host for monitoring.
You can log on to a remote host in one the following ways:

Password-based authentication: You need to enter user name and password.
Key-based authentication: You need to enter user name, public and private key file paths, and passphrase.

User name/password or user name /public and private key file paths and passphrase must be entered if your profile is set to NONE or if you have selected the Override Profile Credentials (for profile other than NONE) option.

To add a new host

Access the Remote Monitoring application menu as described in Accessing KM Commands and InfoBoxes.
Select Manage List of Monitored Hosts from the Remote Monitoring application menu. The Manage List of Monitored Hosts dialog box is displayed.
Select Add New Host and click OK. The Add New Host dialog box is displayed.
Type the name of the host in the Hostname field.
Select a profile from the Profile list. If you select a profile other than NONE, you don't need enter credentials.
Select Override Profile Credentials (for profile other than NONE) if you want to override the default profile credentials.
Type the user name to log on to the remote host.
Type the password.
Type the paths in the Public Key File Path and Private Key File Path fields if you are using key-based authentication.
Type the passphrase to access the public key and private key files if you are using key-based authentication.
Click Add.

A new host will be added for remote monitoring.
