How to configure and modify the monitoring profile of an agent?

By default, the monitoring profile default is configured for every entity. The default profile includes all the metrics for monitoring and can be modified if required. Follow the steps to configure the profile and change the profile from default to the user-defined profile as follows:

  

 

Step 1: 

To create a new monitoring profile for devices, navigate Settings > Configurations > Monitoring profile and click on the Agents tab. 

Step 2:  

Click on the New icon and provide the required information - Name, interval (by default, both polling and reporting interval is 60sec), and list of monitors and click on the Save button. 

Note: Polling interval can be changed by the user only when the controller is in the Pro version 

If the DEM feature has been activated, you can also include an application by clicking on this  icon. Enter the obligatory field labeled "application," and if needed, input the threshold value, activate both the ping and tracepath options, and then save the configuration. Please be aware that while tracepath functionality is activated, it will be accessible only during the initial 30 days for the basic and standard editions, whereas it will remain accessible at all times for the pro edition.

To Edit the configured profile, click on the Edit icon under Actions. To Delete the profile, click on the Delete icon under Actions. 

Note:  The specific agent associated with the profile will have its corresponding functionality (Process and Docker Containers) monitored only if the process and docker container are enabled in that profile.

Step 3: 

To change the monitoring profile, navigate Settings > Monitoring > Hosts/agents after disabling performance monitoring for the device.  

 

Step 4: 

Under Actions, click on the Edit icon, select the newly created monitoring profile you wish to activate, and click on the Save button to save the configuration. Here profile is changed from default to CPU load, with only the CPU.load metric. 

Step 5: 

After changing the monitoring profile, enable performance monitoring for the device
