B.2 Configuring the Monitoring Agent

This version of the Monitoring Agent uses the open source gmond 3.1.7 code. It is preconfigured to run only on a Windows local machine. It does not support multicasting. The installation includes a preconfigured gmond.conf that will work strictly on the local host. You can manually edit gmond.conf for a different configuration, but your changes are not supported by Novell.

If you choose to customize an unsupported configuration for your needs, you can test the configuration by stopping the gmond service and then restarting gmond from the Windows command line prompt. Use the -d (debug) and -f (foreground) options to capture any error messages generated by the new configuration.
