Add a process or service to a server monitor by api

When we spin up servers we want to be able to add the specific services/processes that are important to that server to be actively monitored.

For instance, say we are spinning up a filemaker service on a windows server, we want that filemaker service to be monitored & we just need to make sure it is monitored so if it crashes or stops we can be alerted.

Any chance we can get this into the API? We would love to be able to apply a dynamically named service/process to hundreds of servers.

Hi,

Thanks for bringing this up. 

We have a feature called 'Configuration Template' (Login and go to Admin > Server Monitor > Configuration Template). Using this feature, users can create a template for services/processes that needs to be monitored. This template can then be mapped to the new server monitors added. 

Please read our documentation on how to create a Configuration Template:

https://www.site24x7.com/help/admin/server-monitor/server-configuration.html

Once a Configuration Template is created, pass the parameter CT with the name of the template created in the field "Value" using command line installation.

Eg: 

For Windows, 

msiexec.exe /i Site24x7WindowsAgent.msi EDITA1=<Device Key> ENABLESILENT=YES REBOOT=ReallySuppress CT=<CONFIGURATION PROFILE NAME>  /qn

For Linux,

./Site24x7_Linux_64bit.install -i -key=<Device Key> -ct=<CONFIGURATION PROFILE NAME>

Hope this fits your requirement. For further queries, please comment below.

 

Regards,

Muralikrishnan
