eG Administration

MANAGER SETTINGS - MANAGER NOTIFICATION Clicking on the Manager Notification node under the Manager Settings node of the SETTINGS tree structure will invoke a MANAGER NOTIFICATION page in the right panel. Using the MANAGER NOTIFICATION page, you can configure the type of alerts you want displayed in the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window that pops out as soon as you login to the eG administrative interface or when you click the Manager Notification icon () in the Admin tool bar available at the right, top corner of the Admin interface. If you want the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window to alert you to the impending expiry of the eG license, then set the Show license expiry alert flag to Yes. If this is done, then, starting from 7 days before the license expiry, the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window will display a license expiry alert every day. If you want the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window to alert you once your eG installation runs out of agent licenses, then set the Show alert when agent licenses are exhausted flag to Yes. To ensure that the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window alerts you to agents that are not running, set the Show not running agents list flag to Yes. Note that if this flag is turned on, you will also be alerted by email to agents that are not running. Whenever the eG manager discovers/re-discovers new components/devices, you can optionally configure the manager to display the list of the recently discovered components/devices in MANAGER NOTIFICATION window. To enable this capability, set the Show newly discovered components alert flag to Yes. Many times you may install an eG agent on a host, but may not use that agent to monitor any component/device in your environment. To make sure that the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window informs you about the existence of such ‘unused’ agents, set the Show unconfigured agents list flag to Yes. Once this is done, then, the MANAGER NOTIFICATION window will display the count of the unconfigured (i.e., unused) agents. Clicking on the count will lead you to a page that lists the agents that are yet to be used for monitoring. Upgrading eG Enterprise to a new version may often result in the addition of new monitoring capabilities - eg., addition of new tests, measures etc. - and/or the deprecation of a few old ones - eg., removal of old tests. To ensure that eG Enterprise users receive a heads-up on these additions/removals as soon as they login to an upgraded eG manager, you can have an alert to this effect displayed in the manager notification window. To enable this alert, set the Show alert for new/deprecated tests found after an upgrade flag to Yes. Finally, click the Update button.
