Viewing the System Application MIB Log File

The system application MIB log file, SysAppl.log, is located on the server where Service Monitor is
installed in NMSROOT\log.
Note NMSROOT is the directory where Service Monitor is installed on your system. If you selected the
default directory during installation, it is C:\Program Files\CSCOpx.
Changing the Hostname on the Service Monitor Server
To change the hostname for the Service Monitor server, you must update several files, reboot the server,
and regenerate the self-signed security certificate. Afterward, you must update the configuration on
Service Monitor.

Changing the Hostname, Rebooting the Server, and Regenerating the Certificate

Note You will reboot the server twice during this procedure. You will also stop the daemon manager to
perform some steps.
