Dependencies Copied

Installation Copied

Configuration Copied
The user configuration options should be set in /opt/opsview/automonitormanager/etc/automonitormanager.yaml. Default values are shown in /opt/opsview/automonitormanager/etc/automonitormanager.defaults.yaml, but changes should not be made here since the file will get overwritten on package update.
The following options can be set:
scan_timeout: The maximum time allowed for a complete scan (seconds).master_probe_weighting: The AutoMonitor Manager asks each collector to assess its suitability for performing a scan. If the collector is able to connect to the target, it reports the time taken to connect. In order to favour running scans on collectors, this weighting is added to the time reported by the Master Monitoring Server (milliseconds).logging: General logging config.
