Configuring Surveillance Schedules

	Configuring Surveillance Schedules
	A surveillance schedule consists of one or more surveillance groups that you want to run
	on a host system during particular hours on particular days of the week. After a
	surveillance schedule has been created, it can later be modified, copied or deleted.
	The predefined surveillance schedules, distributed with HP-UX HIDS, are read-only.
	They may be copied but not resaved or deleted. If you modify one, you can only save the
	changes under a new name. They are listed in “Predefined Surveillance Schedules and
	Groups” on page 81.
	Creating a New Surveillance Schedule
	To create a new surveillance schedule
Step	1. Go to the Schedule Manager screen.
