Adding a Server to the HQ Inventory

Available in HQ Open Source unless marked by * for HQ Enterprise only

This screen allows users to create a new server and add it to a platform. (Servers can be created only within the context of a platform.) Users might manually add a server (or service or platform) under the following circumstances:

  • It is a technology that is not monitored by default by HQ.
  • It is a custom plugin.
  • It is installed in a nonstandard location that HQ does not look in by default.
  • It has a nonstandard name in the process list.

If you have any comments or suggestions for this help page, please submit them at the bottom of the page by clicking Add Comment.

Tasks Available on This Screen

On this screen users can do one thing: create a new server and add it to a platform.

To add a new server:

  1. Fill in the following fields:
    • Name: The name of the server
    • Description: (optional) A description of the server
    • Server Type: The server type
    • Install Path: The full path of the directory where the server software is installed
  2. Click .

The server's Owner defaults to the account that created the server. And the Host Platform is the name of the platform this server is being added to.
