Monitoring an Alyvix Node

In just a few steps it is possible to configure an Alyvix node in NetEye in order to monitor it from the web interface.

Creating an Alyvix node

To begin monitoring an Alyvix node, the node must first be created in the Director module as an Icinga Host, setting at least one Hostname and one Host address, see Fig. 230.

Moreover also select Yes in the Alyvix node field under the Alyvix settings section.

The Alyvix node list can be visualized by visiting the Alyvix / Nodes page. The following fields are displayed for each node:

  • Name: The name of the Alyvix node set previously during the Host creation
