Monitoring objects configuration
Introduction
There are two ways of changing the configuration of the op5 Monitor:
Editing the configuration files in /opt/monitor/etc.
Using the web UI op5 Monitor configuration tool.
In this chapter we will take a look at how the op5 Monitor Configuration tool, from now on called only Configure, is used.
Workflow
Most of the configuration in op5 Monitor is saved in configuration files (text files) in /opt/monitor/etc/. The Configure works with a database and this makes it possible to do changes in the configuration without saving it to file before all configuration is done.
The table below describes the workflow.
 
Step
Description
1
Configure opens and the configuration files are compared to the data in the database.

A preflight check is made on the configuration before it is exported to the configuration files.
