Adding and Managing Devices
Overview
In Motadata AIOps, understanding and monitoring your infrastructure begins with adding and managing devices. This process involves setting up two key profiles: the Credential Profile and the Discovery Profile.
Why Configure These Profiles?
Before gaining insights into your infrastructure, Motadata AIOps needs to recognize and setup individual devices as monitors in Motadata AIOps. Here's why you configure these profiles:
Credential Profile: This profile allows you to pre-configure credentials for accessing devices. By creating a credential profile, you can easily apply the same credentials to multiple devices, saving valuable time and manual effort.
Discovery Profile: Use the discovery profile to identify devices within your infrastructure. A discovery run, initiated by the discovery profile, scans your infrastructure, ensuring that Motadata AIOps can monitor them effectively.
The Three-Step Process
Adding and managing devices for monitoring in Motadata AIOps is a streamlined three-step process:
Set Up Profiles: Begin by configuring the credential profile and discovery profile. These profiles serve as the foundation for recognizing and monitoring your devices.
Discover Devices: Execute a discovery run, and Motadata AIOps will identify the devices present in your infrastructure. This step ensures that no device goes unnoticed.
Provision Devices: After discovering your devices, you can choose which ones to monitor and provision them accordingly.
