• Collector Name
• Site Location

Monitoring Configuration

In the ‘Monitoring Configuration’ page, you will be able to choose between two types of monitoring: Location mode, and Custom Selection mode.

Location Mode

In this mode, all devices are automatically discovered and monitored.

Only the devices monitored by the Collector will be visible.

A search option is available for quickly locating specific devices within the list.

Following the scanning properties which can be fined-tuned for the Location-based monitoring mode:

• Physical and Virtual Networks (Also called “Attached Networks” which are scanned at Layer 2)
• Routed networks (Scanned at Layer 3)
• External Hosts (Public hosts/ip – Scanned at Layer 3)
• Logical Devices – (also called Dummy Devices)

Custom Selection Mode

This monitoring mode is only available trough the Domotz Channel Partner program. If you are interested in this, please contact sales@domotz.com

In this mode, you have the ability to manually select the devices you would like to monitor and manage.

For more information about Managed and Unmanaged devices please see here.

All available assets are displayed in the left column, and a search feature is provided for easy navigation. You can select individual devices or use the “Select All” option for bulk selection.

Once you’ve made your selection, simply click the arrow between the columns to add the assets to the Managed Devices list (Right column). To confirm the list of monitored assets, simply click the “Save Changes” button.

Devices can be moved back and forth using the arrow in the center. After saving, you also have the option to remove devices from the Monitored Assets list as needed.

Following the scanning properties which can be fined-tuned for the Custom Selection (device-based) monitoring mode:

• Physical and Virtual Networks (Also called “Attached Networks” which are scanned at Layer 2)
• Routed networks (Scanned at Layer 3)
• IP Address Range (Scanned at Layer 2)
• IP Address List (Scanned at Layer 2)
• External Hosts (Public hosts/ip – Scanned at Layer 3)
• Logical Devices – (also called Dummy Devices)

If you collector is a Domotz Box, you will be able to disable its local web interface, improving the security of your Domotz Agent. As a matter of fact, this prevents other users on the same local network from accessing the Domotz Box configuration.

In order to disable it, please click on the pencil icon and disable it:
