Associating Monitors to Monitor Groups

To associate a Monitor/ Process/ Service to a Monitor Group, follow the steps given below:

Click on the Monitor Group (from Home tab).
Under Monitor Group Information, click Associate Monitors link. Alternatively, select the Monitor Type by moving the mouse over the Associate Monitor of Monitor Group Links in the left frame.
A list of discovered Monitors/ Processes/ Services that are available for associating and those that have already been associated with that Monitor Group is displayed.
Note: The status of Monitor Group would remain unknown, until you associate at least one monitor to it.
Select the check box of the corresponding Monitor from Monitors not present in this Monitor Group list and click Add. You can also remove a Monitor which has already been associated with the Monitor Group by selecting the check box of Monitor(s) under Monitors present in this Monitor Group and clicking Remove.

Note:

In order to add Processes and Services to Monitor Groups, the 'Associate Process & Service to Monitor Group' option has to be enabled from Admin tab> Performance Polling> Servers, prior to performing the action. On disabling this option, the Processes/ Services associated previously can only be removed manually from the Monitor Group..
When a Process or Service is down, the RCA for the Monitor Group will display the Process/ Service name along with the Server Display name. The following is a sample RCA for the Monitor Group when the Process w3wp.exe from the server with display name appvm-win7-64 is associated.

Root Cause : Health of appvm-win7-64 -> w3wp.exe is critical.

Root Cause : 1. Number of Instances 1 > 0 (threshold)

Limitations:

Dashboards and Reports are currently not supported when Processes/ Services are associated to Monitor Groups.
By default, Services do not have the Health attribute. It will not be displayed when viewed from Monitor Group or Web App Group.

Network Devices can now be monitored out-of-the-box using the ManageEngine OpManager Network Monitoring Connector.
