  • Unix\LINUX: /usr/java8_64
• Alternatively, you can also use the $JAVA_HOME environment variable in this field. If you use the $JAVA_HOME variable, the Java location depends on the $JAVA_HOME you declare in you PATROL agent host.

Create Device

By default, device mapping on the TrueSight user console is enabled (check box selected), and the PATROL instance appears as a device in the following TrueSight components:

• Presentation Server
• Infrastructure Management
• Integration Service

Enabling device mapping consolidates TrueSight monitoring at device level.

Clear this checkbox to disable device creation in the Presentation Server.
