Creating a subnode from the Data Sources tree in the New Agent Wizard

  1. On the Data Source Definition page (Figure 221), right-click an agent name to create a new subnode definition from the Data Sources tree and click New Subnode Definition.
  2. Enter information about the new subnode definition to create a new subnode as shown in Figure 222, and then click Next.
  3. On the Initial Subnode Data Source page (Figure 223), select a type of data source for the new subnode, and then click Next.
  4. Define the initial data source for the subnode. See the chapters about specific data sources in this user's guide. Then, click Next after completing the final data source-specific page.
  5. On the Subnode Configuration Overrides page (Figure 224), identify which configuration properties are to remain at the agent level and which ones to vary for each subnode instance.
    Note:
    Properties in the Global Agent Properties list are configured at the agent level. Properties in the Subnode Properties list can be configured for each subnode. Properties can be in both lists, in which case the subnode property, if it is set, overrides the global property for that subnode. Some properties must be configured at the agent level and cannot be moved to the subnode level. For SNMP, "SNMP Version" cannot be copied or moved under "Subnode Properties".
    1. Use Move, Copy, and Remove to specify the configuration properties as described in Configuring a subnode.
  6. When finished identifying the properties, click Finish. The Data Source Definition widow is displayed.
