Universal Device Poller administration

chris.newton

I have recently spent alot of time creating UnDP's to monitor various server components such as: -

• Memory Module Status
• Memory Module Slot
• Memory Module Size
• CPU Status
• CPU Cores
• CPU Slot
• HDD Status
• HDD Size
• HDD Firmware
• HDD Speed
• Power Supply Unit Status
• Power Supply Slot

My issue is for every new server that I wish to monitor I have to go into every UnDP and manually select the "Windows" category to add the new server.  As I am monitoring in excess of 250 servers it takes about 20seconds to do each one.

Is there away of making this easier? for instance the Category automatically updates?

Does anyone else find the administration time consuming?

I have my server guys use the web interface for adding new servers for this very reason.

On the web interface you get a screen to checkbox select the pollers you want to add to the node, where as if you try to do it with thick client it takes FOREVER.
