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 assets will be automatically discovered and monitored.

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 can manually select the devices you wish to have monitored and add them to the Managed Devices list.

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)

Booster Packs

Booster Packs (Only for Collector with Location Mode selected) offer additional benefits to a Collector. In the Booster Packs section, you can review your consumed metrics and, if needed, add additional packs. Their network monitoring includes:

• Persistent devices count
• Metrics consumption
• Configuration Management devices count

Default Credentials

Default Credentials – the current SNMP default authentication.

Here, you can edit the used SNMP version (v1, v2 or v3), the read/write communities and you can apply these settings to all devices within the collector:

Manage pairing with Documentation & Data Aggregation System

This section displays and allows managing your existing integrations with Domotz’s partner platforms. If no integration is present, it will forward you to the Integrations section.

Other Settings

In this section other collector settings are available.

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:
