HP-UX Host Intrusion Detection System Version 4.3 administrator guide

NOTE: When you modify a host entry’s host name, the old alert and error log file names are
not changed. When new alerts or errors arrive for the renamed host entry, they go into new log
files that have the new host name.
Deleting a Host
To delete a host entry, follow these steps:
1. On the Host Manager screen, select one or more entries in the host list.
2. Delete the entries by performing one of the following steps:
• Select Edit > Delete Host.
• Click Delete.
• Right-click > menu > Delete Host.
• Press Delete.
The entries are deleted from the Host Manager screen. If they were monitored, they are also
deleted from the System Manager screen.
NOTE: If an agent is actively running a surveillance schedule, it must be stopped before its
host entry is deleted. For more information, see “Stopping Schedules on Agent Hosts” (page 53).
Enabling and Disabling Hosts
To enable or disable an agent host for monitoring, follow these steps:
• On the Host Manager screen, click the box in the Monitored column for the entry of the host
you want to enable or disable for monitoring. The box displays a check mark if the host is
enabled; it is blank if the host is disabled.
When an entry is enabled, it is also displayed on the System Manager screen and
automatically polled. When it is disabled, it is removed from the System Manager screen.
NOTE: If an agent is actively running a surveillance schedule, it must be stopped before its
host entry can be disabled. For more information, see “Stopping Schedules on Agent Hosts”
(page 53).
