Copying Monitoring Requests

Copying Monitoring Requests

There are two ways to use the copy function:

•To create requests for multiple resources using the same monitoring parameters. This is a quick way to set requests for multiple resources.

•To create requests for the same resource using different monitoring parameters. This is a quick way to create requests that send events using multiple notification methods.

To create requests for multiple resources using the same monitoring parameters:

1.From the Event Monitoring Service main screen, select the monitoring request whose parameters you wish to copy. You need to have configured at least one similar request for a similar instance.

2.From the Actions menu select Copy Monitoring Request. The Add Monitoring Request screen is displayed.

3.From the Add Monitoring Request screen, select a different resource instance and click OK. The Monitoring Request Parameters screen is displayed.

4.Click OK in the Monitoring Request Parameters screen.

A message is displayed indicating the new request has been added, and the Event Monitoring Service main screen is displayed.

To create requests for the same resource using different monitoring parameters:

1.From the Event Monitor Service main screen, select the monitoring request with the instance for which you wish to have multiple monitoring requests.

You need to have configured at least one request for the instance.

2.From the Actions menu select Copy Monitoring Request. The Add Monitoring Request screen is displayed.

3.Click OK in the Add Monitoring Request screen.

The Monitoring Request Parameters screen is displayed.

4.In the Monitoring Request Parameters screen, modify the parameters as desired.

5.Click OK.

A message is displayed indicating the new request has been added, and the Event Monitoring Service main screen is displayed.
