Monitoring Core¶
Package nep-monitoring-core adds self-monitoring capabilities to a NetEye. It enables NetEye to:
Find the main components of the current Infrastructure
Monitor them using a predefined set of checks
This Package is the first of a series: it covers only NetEye Core module functionalities. To monitor other NetEye modules, other NEPs are required. This Package will also act as a common base for other NetEye Monitoring-related Packages, therefore it is required to successfully monitor other NetEye modules.
Minimum supported environment¶
This package can be installed on systems running the software described below. Systems with equivalent components are also suitable for installation.

Package requirements¶
Service and Host Template shipped with package nep-monitoring-core require the following nep:
nep-common
If the NetEye deployments that will receive Package nep-common is a clustered environment, additional preparations must be done.
Setup instructions¶
If all requirements are met, you can now install this package. To manually set up the nep-monitoring-core package, just use nep-setup utility to install it.
nep-setup install nep-monitoring-core
Post-Setup steps¶
Package nep-monitoring-core has self-populating capabilities.
To create the required monitoring objects, just run the automations provided by this Package.
- Run the following Import Sources
NetEye infrastructure endpoints Source
NetEye infrastructure child zones Source
- Run the following Sync Rules in the reported order:
NetEye infrastructure endpoints Rule
NetEye infrastructure child zones Rule
This will create the required objects for NetEye Monitoring. Then, the generated Host Objects’ properties must be updated to reflect the current configuration of the NetEye infrastructure:
Open Director
Locate Host Object NetEye Master zone Endpoint
Edit Custom Property Installed modules, selecting all the installed NetEye modules
- If it is a Clustered NetEye deployment
Search NetEye Cluster node inside the Host Objects: all cluster nodes will be found
Edit Custom Property Local Services and select all the eventually installed NetEye Local services
After this, all the required services will be automatically assigned to the right Host Objects.
Then, the new configuration can be safely deployed.
Automatic Object’s update¶
Automations provided by this Package can be freely used to generate and refresh all the required monitoring objects.
NetEye deployments are not updated often, but the automations can be eventually scheduled by the End User in the Jobs section of Director Automations.
Available Objects¶
Automations provided with this Package can take care of everything themselves. Therefore, is not suggested to the End User to manually use Objects from this Package that are not Import Sources or Sync Rules.
This section contains a description of all the Objects from this package that can be used to build your own monitoring environment.
Director Objects¶
This package contains the following Director Objects:
