Use the monitorEndpoint command to enable monitoring of the specified endpoint. The endpoint will be monitored by the monitor agent (or group) that discovered it.
Once an endpoint is monitored, you can apply policies to it and the system can connect measurements, log messages, or record transaction instances that include the endpoint. In most cases, observer-discovered endpoints are automatically monitored. However, if the type of endpoint you want to monitor is not monitored by default, you might need to use this command to start monitoring.
The observer communication policy settings determine whether an endpoint is monitored by default. The default settings for this policy always monitor discovered endpoints immediately. But the user can deselect that option for any or all genres.
Use the unmonitorEndpoint command to disable monitoring.
