This example will outline how to install EventSentry in a network of ten servers using Remote Update.
that perform different tasks. While some of the servers will need customized filters and actions (e.g. to write to a database), all of them will share a common include filter and SMTP action. The following steps will be performed in this order:
• | Install EventSentry agent on all servers |
• | Apply the common filter and action to all servers |
• | Customize each server individually |
To accomplish this task, perform the following steps (for any or the default group):
1. | Choose a computer to act as the inital template computer. This will usually be your workstation or management server, but it can also be one of the servers where EventSentry will be installed. After all servers are setup they can be administered individually (unless, for example, you choose to apply the actions again). In this example, you will choose workstation1 as the template computer. |
2. | Install EventSentry with the setup routine on the template computer. |
4. | If needed, configure health settings such as service monitoring and disk space monitoring. |
5. | Add all the computers to the Default Group in the remote update section. |
6. | Right-click the "Default Group" and select "Install & Configure Agent" |
