I am about to bring three additional pollers and an additional web server online and I want to make sure that I cover all the steps involved in getting them fully integrated into the monitoring system.
In another post I found out that the additional web server must have the following done:
- download and install an NTA and an APM web console from the Customer Portal
- install the NCM Integration executable and point to the IP of the server where NCM is installed
- install any other modules (IPSLA for example) and the web portion will install as needed
Is there eanything else I must do for the Additional Web Server?
For the Additional Polling Engines I see on page 137 of the NPM Admin Guide that I must copy six files from the Orion directory to each additional poller in order to port the custom properties from the primary. I have the following questions:
- do I copy reports to each additional poller as well?
- do I use the Export/Import buttons to move all my alerts to each poller and then edit them as necessary to make them specific to the elements on that poller, or is alerting handled by the primary poller alone?
- what other tasks must I accomplish to bring the additional pollers completely online?
Thank you so much for any guidance.
