Monitoring the results on the master

Up to now, the event data is only available locally on the agent. However, to be able to print reports on this topic and to view them in the console these events must be specifically uploaded to the master and its database. This is done via an operational rule:

Note:

By default, these events are configured to be uploaded every 24 hours, that is, at midnight to the master database. If the agent is not running at this time the events will be uploaded at agent startup. If this schedule does not correspond to your requirements you can assign it a different schedule. Information about how to do so, you can see in the Configuration Management topic.

  3. Enter Upload Resource Management Events into the Name box and then click OK.
     The new operational rule is added to the list of members in the right pane.
