Editing a Resource's Configuration PropertiesTopics marked with * relate to HQ Enterprise-only features. This inventory screen allows users to edit a resource's configuration properties, that is, those data that HQ needs to properly monitor and, in some cases, control the resource. Users can also enable and disable log and configuration tracking for the resource.

Sections on This ScreenTopThe top of the screen displays this message: Please verify that this resource has been enabled for monitoring by following the directions below. if log and configuration tracking are not already enabled on the resource or if the user must do something in order for HQ to monitor the resource. For example, the message would appear on a MySQL database resource if the username and password had not been provided. Click directions below to be taken directly to the place on the screen where the necessary instructions are listed. SharedThis section lists properties that apply to both "monitoring" and "control" aspects of the resource, in other words, general product configuration properties. MonitoringThis section lists all the information necessary to perform log and configuration tracking for a resource. Not all resource types support log and configuration tracking. In this section, users can also enable or disable auto-discovery of the resource. HQ's strength lies largely in its auto-discovery of network resources. The Auto-Discovery checkbox should thereful almost always be checked. On rare occasions, however, users might want to disable auto-discovery because it is being too "aggressive" in discovering things on the network. ControlThis section lists the information necessary for HQ to perform control actions on this resource. Not all resource types have associated control actions: Platforms, applications, and mixed groups do not have control actions. Example
The RestThe rest of the screen provides resource type-specific (product-specific) configuration information (if it exists) necessary for HQ to monitor the resource. This information is also found on the product-specific pages in the Managed Products section of the help. Also, an explanation of the log- and configuration-tracking fields, as explained above, is provided. Return to HQ User Interface Reference. |
