To Create a Module Object

To monitor several module objects on several hosts, you might create module objects for each host and put the module objects in a common location. For example, you might put the module objects in the same group or administrative domain. The procedure for creating a module object is similar to the procedure for creating a node.

1. In the hierarchy view of the main console window, select the administrative domain in which to create the new object.

2. In the main console window, choose Create Object from the Edit menu.

3. Select the Node tab in the Create Object window.

4. Select Sun Management Center Agent – Module in the Monitor Via field.

5. (Optional) Type a node label.

6. (Optional) Type a description.

7. Type a host name or IP address.

   You can provide either the host name, the IP address, or both. If there is a conflict between the host name and the IP address, the host name takes precedence.

8. Verify or change the port number.

9. Click the Get Modules button to view a list of modules that are currently loaded on the host.

   The module list is displayed.

   If the module that you want to use is not loaded, see To Load a Module. If the module that you want to use is not enabled, see To Enable a Module.

10. Select the module to monitor.

    The module list closes.

11. To add your module to the topology and close the Create Object window, click the OK button.
