Configuring the Monitor Role

The Monitor role is used to dedicate the SonicWALL GMS installation to monitoring appliances and applications in a multi-server SonicWALL GMS deployment. The monitoring is based on ICMP probes, TCP probes, and SNMP OID retrievals.

Only the SonicWALL Universal Management Suite Monitoring Manager service runs on a Monitor system.

To deploy your SonicWALL GMS in the Monitor role, complete the following steps in the appliance management interface:

1	Navigate to the Deployment > Role page. Under Host Role Configuration, select Monitor.

 

2	To include the MySQL database on this system, select Include Database (MYSQL). To use a MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server database on another system, do not select this check box.

3	Configure the database settings as described in Configuring Database Settings .

4	Configure the Web port settings as described in Configuring Server Settings .

5	To apply your changes, click Update. To change the settings on this page back to the defaults, click Reset.
