Add resources

To monitor a Relay Server farm, an administrator must first add the resource to the Monitor. By default, after the resource is added, monitoring starts.

As an administrator, you can add a resource one at a time or you can add multiple resources via an Import file. See Add multiple resources.

 To add a Relay Server farm resource to monitor
  1. Log in to the Monitor as an administrator.

  2. Click Administration.

  3. Click Resources.

  4. Click Add.

  5. Follow the instructions in the Add Resource window to add a resource to monitor a Relay Server farm. In the Host field, specify the hostname or IP address of the computer on which the Relay Server farm is running. You can use the name localhost to represent the current computer. This term is required. See Host connection parameter.

  6. Click Create.

  7. Click OK.

  8. Click Close.

    The resource appears in the Overview dashboard Resource List.

  9. Optional: Add a dashboard for the resource. By default, when a resource is added, a dashboard is not.

    1. Open the Overview dashboard.

      Click Dashboards » Overview.

    2. In the Resource List, click the new resource.

      The Monitor creates and opens a new dashboard for the resource. The name of the new dashboard appears in the Dashboards section of the sidebar.

      See Dashboards.
