Administrating Monitoring Instances - CheckMK Rail2 Mark I Manual

Check_MK rail2 Mark I - Manual 9 / 57

3. Administrating monitoring instances

Open the main menu of the web interface and click on the menu item instance administration. In this
dialogue box, you have access to all monitoring instances of this device. You can configure, update and
delete monitoring instances as well as create new ones.
The first time you open the dialogue box it will be empty. To create your first monitoring instance,
click on the button Create instance. In the dialogue box that then appears, you can specify the initial
configuration of the monitoring instance.
Start by entering an instance ID, which serves to identify the monitoring instance. The instance ID
may only contain letters, numbers, - and _, must start with a letter or _ and may be a maximum of 16
characters in length.
Now select the Check_MK version with which to create the monitoring instance.
You can leave all other settings as they are for the time being. You can change these settings later on
using the instance editing dialogue.
As soon as you confirm the dialogue box with Create instance, the new monitoring instance will be
created. This may take a few seconds. Once the instance has been created or started, you will be taken
to the list of all monitoring instances.
