Adding/Scanning Individual Nodes
Figure 34-5. Adding Node via the Administration > Discovery page
Individual nodes may be added directly to the ZoneRanger database without running a full
discovery. By using the Add/Scan Nodes section, up to 10 IP addresses or hostnames may be
directly added to the ZoneRanger database. When the Start Scan button is pressed, the
ZoneRanger will scan each entered IP address or hostname using SNMP and TCP and store the
resulting information in the ZoneRanger database. If an existing IP address or hostname is
scanned, the ZoneRanger database information for that device will be updated.
Note, when adding nodes individually, no subnet or path information for these devices will be
available. Thus, root cause information will not be available for these newly added devices
until a full discovery is executed.
Profiles
You can use the Administration > Profiles page to load, save, and manage ZoneRanger
profiles. You can save a ZoneRanger profile on the ZoneRanger, or on a joined Ranger
Gateway. Profiles enable you to save ZoneRanger configurations for later use. For example,
having saved profiles available can save time when configuring other ZoneRangers requiring
similar configurations.
A ZoneRanger profile comprises most of its configuration information, but does not include the
contents of the ZoneRanger database. As such, a profile does not contain information associated
with specific managed entities (for example, polling configuration for specific nodes, interfaces,
and TCP ports). The Administration > Profiles page enables you to load saved profiles, store
profiles, and delete profiles.
