How does eG Enterprise Monitor Local Director?

  1. Log into the eG administrative interface.
  2. Follow the Components -> Add/Modify menu sequence in the Infrastructure tile of the Admin menu.

  3. In the COMPONENTS page that appears next, select Local Director as the Component type. Then, click the Add New Component button. This will invoke .
