You can manually add single or multiple devices.
Follow these steps to add a single device:
From the navigation bar, select Infrastructure.
The Devices page appears.
Select Add a Single Device from
(Add Devices).The Add a Single Device dialog appears.
Enter information or make selections to add the device:
Name or IP - Enter the network (DNS) name or IP address of the device.
Device Class - Select a device class to which this device will belong. For example, if the new device is a Windows server, then select /Server/Windows/WMI.
Collector - By default, this is localhost. Select a collector for the device.
Model - By default, this option is selected. De-select this option if you do not want the device to be modeled when it is added.
Optionally, click More to display additional fields. From the expanded page, you can:
Enter device-specific details
Edit SNMP settings
Set hardware and operating system information
Add device comments
Note
Name or IP, Device Class, and Model are the only required selections when adding a device. You may want to continue (click Add) without additional information or selections, as information you add may conflict with information the system discovers about the device.
An exception is if you are adding a Cisco router in a device class other than /Network. In this case, before adding the device you should set the value of the zlfDescription configuration property to True. This will give you additional information about Cisco routers. By default, this option is set to True for the /Network class.
Click Add.
Note
You can view the Add Device job in progress. Click View Job Log in the dialog that appears when you add the device.
When the job completes, the device is added in the selected device class.
Follow these steps to manually add multiple devices:
From the navigation bar, select Infrastructure.
The Devices page appears.
Select Add Multiple Devices from
(Add Devices).The Add Devices panel appears.
For each device you want to add, enter the fully qualified domain name or IP address of a device on your network.
In the Details area, select a device type from the list. If your device type is not listed, then use the default selection. (You can choose a different device type after adding the device.)
Enter the appropriate credentials used to authenticate against the device.
If you want to add more than one device, click +. Enter one hostname or IP address on each line. Each device can have only one set of associated credentials.
To add the devices, click Submit. Zenoss models the devices in the background.
