New user with monitoring questions

Morning eValid!

I just took over another guy's eValid installation that I'm unfamiliar with.

How do I get started with eValid in "monitoring mode" and the only thing I know is that I'm running Nagios.

Please help with any tips/advice!

I appreciate any help you can give me.

Thanks for asking and welcome to our forum TCurtis.

Here is a page on Nagios:

If you have a working script then open it, single-step through while looking at the EventLog file...that'll train you quickly and easily.

Here is a page describing resources that go beyond what's recorded (as I said, not everything can be recorded):

Also, key performance indicators are easily output to a file using the SaveRecord command, described here:

http://www.e-valid.com/Products/Documen ... ecord.html

This lets you create an easy-to-read performance record for whatever monitoring/reporting system you're using.

Let us know if you need anything to help out.
