Using Multiple Host Files
To use multiple host files to monitor varying sets of agent hosts, consider the following:
• Since the sentinal.hosts file is always loaded when the System Manager starts, do not
enable any of the hosts in it. This prevents the System Manager from polling any of the
agent hosts.
• After you start the System Manager, load the host file of your choice. It can have hosts
enabled in it.
• To switch to another host set without stopping your current agents, exit the System Manager
and restart it. Then load the new host file.
