You must restart the NSM GUI Server process after installing NetScreen-Statistical Server
to begin gathering statistics about managed devices.
Refer to the NetScreen-Statistical Report Server Installer's Guide for more information.
NOTE: The Netscreen-Statistical Report Server must be installed on a
separate server from the NSM Servers.
The installer also prompts you to configure the additional parameters enabling the
management system to work with a PostgreSQL Database used for the Device Server.
This database stores data related to the Profiler in NSM. You must specify a port number,
superuser name and password. By default, the PostgreSQL Database uses port 5432;
the superuser is "nsm".
NOTE: If you specify a username that does not already exist, the installer
creates the user for you. In this case, the installer prompts you to create a
password for the user. This password will not expire.
NOTE: The NSM appliance settings for PostgreSQL are preconfigured.
