Monitoring Profiles

Define polling and reporting intervals, metrics, and process monitoring settings for groups of monitored devices. Monitoring profiles allow consistent configuration to be applied across many devices simultaneously.

Overview

A monitoring profile in Cloudmon defines how frequently data is collected from monitored devices (polling interval), how often that data is reported (reporting interval), which specific metrics are collected, and whether process or Docker monitoring is enabled. Profiles can be applied to device groups so that every device in the group uses the same monitoring configuration.

After a new agent is discovered by the Cloudmon controller, it is automatically associated with the default monitoring profile. Custom profiles can be created for different device types, criticality levels, or polling frequency requirements. Navigate to Settings → Configurations → Monitoring Profiles to view and manage all profiles.

Creating a Monitoring Profile

1. Navigate to Settings → Configurations → Monitoring Profiles.
2. Select the entity type tab (Agents, Network Nodes/Services, or other applicable type).
3. Click the Add button in the top right corner.
4. Configure the polling interval, reporting interval, metrics to collect, and any additional options such as process monitoring or Docker monitoring.
5. Click Save.

Associating Profiles to Groups

1. In the Monitoring Profiles list, click the associate icon next to the profile you want to apply.
2. Select the groups to associate the profile with.
3. Click Associate. All devices in the selected groups will use this monitoring profile.

When associating with a parent group, you can optionally include all sub-groups. This allows bulk association across an entire site or department hierarchy without needing to associate each sub-group individually.

Cloning a Profile

To create a variation of an existing profile, click the clone icon next to the profile in the list. A copy of the profile is created which can be edited independently. Cloning is useful for creating device-type-specific or criticality-specific variations of a base configuration without starting from scratch.

DEM Applications in Monitoring Profiles

DEM application monitoring is also configured within monitoring profiles. When adding an application to a profile, you specify the Application, the Application Threshold in milliseconds for Apdex scoring, and whether to enable Ping and Traceroute for that application. See Digital Experience Monitoring for full setup details.
