5.3 Automatically generating a monitoring tree
Using the auto-generation function, you can automatically collect definition information from the active hosts in the system and create a monitoring tree. If the system is reconfigured, you can collect difference information and update the monitoring tree.
The auto-generation function substantially simplifies the work involved in configuring a monitoring system. A monitoring tree can help you monitor even a large-scale system efficiently, but it still requires a vast amount of definition information. The tasks at the system configuration stage, and the updates required when the system is modified, mean a huge commitment of time and effort. The function for automatically generating a monitoring tree offers support for this undertaking.
