How to Set Up Monitoring Targets197


Monitoring targets are the specific resources or services that you want to monitor. They can be anything from a single server to an entire data center. When you set up monitoring targets, you need to specify the following information:
The type of target you want to monitor
The name of the target
The IP address or hostname of the target
The port number of the target
The protocol that the target uses
The credentials that you need to access the target

Once you have specified this information, you can add the target to your monitoring system. The monitoring system will then start collecting data from the target and alerting you to any problems that it finds.

The type of monitoring target that you choose will depend on the resources that you need to monitor.
