Configuration

If Longitude is installed on a server in a workgroup, Longitude V7 will generate the following message during installation:

The HttpUrl transaction will scan the content of a web page for a specified regular expression, and send an alert if the content isn't found. To set this up, you will need to enter the following information in Manage Monitoring for the Transaction/HttpUrl:

• Computer - enter the web server name or ip address
• Path - the path to the page at the specified web server
• Port - if not specified: 80 for http and 443 for https
• Protocol - http (default) or https
• ExpectedContentPattern - regular expression to find on the page

 

Longitude rules can be configured with Entity-Specific threshold settings. For example, setting the DiskFreeCriticalPctMin for the D: drive on a computer to use 5% while all the other drives use the default 10% value. This is done through Monitoring --> Manage Rules --> {Application} --> {Task} --> Click on "Add" or "Modify" to adjust thresholds (it will be Add if everything is using the default value, and Modify if something has been customized).

Longitude can run scripts using the WinScript and UnixScript transactions, but the two scripting transactions work differently due to the difference in how Longitude connects to Windows and Unix computers.

Windows collections are made via WMI - for Windows Scripts, the script needs to be on the agent running the collection for the script. To refer to a remote computer, configure your script either with the name of the computer within the script, or as an argument for the script.

Longitude can be configured to send SNMP traps as an alert. The trap destination is configured under Administration --> Component Management --> Manage Longitude Properties --> Rule Engine --> Advanced --> SNMPSendHost. This page can also be used to configure the SNMP Community, Enterprise OID, and port number to use when sending traps.
