8. Check the status of the agents. The host names are listed in the Monitored Hosts
list. If they are not listed as Available, select them all and press the Status button.
The monitored hosts will be listed as Available in the Status column. For more
information, see “Getting the Status of Agent Hosts” (page 62).
9. Activate the schedules on the agent hosts. This can be the same schedule on all
hosts, a different schedule on each host, or any combination thereof.
a. Select a schedule in the Schedules list, the hosts you want to download it to
in the Monitored Hosts list and press the Activate button.
b. Repeat for different schedules and different hosts. An agent host can run only
one schedule at time. If a download is successful, its Status is Scheduled or
Running, depending on its timetable. For more information, see “Activating
Schedules on Agent Hosts” (page 64).
Operations Screens
The HP-UX HIDS System Manager has five operations screens that you use to manage
HP-UX HIDS operations, receive operator input, and display HP-UX HIDS output.
• System Manager
The System Manager screen displays the current status of the agent systems and
controls agent operations. It is launched automatically when the System Manager
starts. All other operations screens can be accessed from the Edit or View menus
of the System Manager screen. You can return to the System Manager screen from
the View > System Manager menu item on any other operations screen. For more
information, see Chapter 4: “Using the System Manager Screen” (page 57).
• Schedule Manager
In the Schedule Manager screen, you can:
— create and modify surveillance schedules.
— create and modify surveillance groups.
— modify template property values
— specify the days and times that each surveillance group will be active.
— specify global property values, such as alert aggregation and duplicate alert
suppression properties, as these values are not template specific.
For more information, see Chapter 5: “Using the Schedule Manager Screen”
(page 69) .
• Host Manager
In the Host Manager screen, you can specify and enable the agent hosts you want
to monitor. For more information, see Chapter 6: “Using the Host Manager Screen”
(page 99).
