How-To: Use a "Monitoring Style" add-in component.
IPSentry "Monitoring Style" add-ins are those add-in components used in the context of monitoring. These add-ins perform a specific task during the IPSentry monitoring cycle.
Because of the virtually limitless capabilities of in-house or 3rd party add-in components, we could not hope to cover every aspect of every add-in. Instead, we will concentrate on only the functions that will be required by every add-in and lead you the point where the add-in takes over and IPSentry waits in the background.
In this example, we have installed the add-in as instructed by our add-in vendor and we have verified that the add-in component appears in the list by selecting Add-In Manager from the Add-In menu. Now, we simply wish to add a monitoring item that takes advantage of this add-in component. (What the add-in does has no relevance here, other than the fact that it performs a task within the context of the monitoring cycle.)
Select Options from the Edit Menu.
Select the Server/Machine Monitoring Tab
Hit the Add button to add a new monitoring item.
Select the Server Settings Tab
Set the monitoring --Type-- to Add-In
Enter a unique Name for this item.
Enter a meaningful description for this item.
Hit the Browse Add-Ins button.
Highlight the desired add-in from the list.
(Only add-ins of Monitoring Style will appear in this list)
Hit the Select button.
Hit the Add-In Configuration button.
This is where IPSentry stops and the add-in begins. What windows,
screens, prompts, and functionality presented to you from this point will be
completely dependent on the add-in component.
Configure the remaining properties as desired for this item.
One of the most common problems encountered during this process is selecting Configure Add-In before actually selecting an Add-In to use. If you receive "ActiveX component can-not create object" at this point, this is the most likely cause. If you have selected the add-in, then it is possible that A) the add-in has no user configuration option or B) there is a problem with the add-in. Check your Add-in documentation for additional information.
