How to Monitor Sun Java System Directory Server Using eG Enterprise?

eG Enterprise can monitor a Sun Java System Directory Server in both agent-based and agentless manners. To monitor the Sun Java System Directory Server in the agentless manner, you need to install a single eG agent on a remote Windows host. The eG agent continuously monitors the Sun Java System Directory Server and collects the critical measures pertaining to its performance. To start monitoring, first manage the Sun Java System Directory Server component using the eG administrative interface, The procedure for managing the component is explaine in the bleow section.

Managing the Sun Java System Directory Server

The eG Enterprise lets you manually add the Sun Java System Directory Server component for monitoring. Remember that the eG Enterprise automatically manages the components that are added manually. To add a Sun Java System Directory Server component, do the following:

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 COMPONENT page that appears next, select Sun Java System Directory Server as the Component type. Then, click the Add New Component button. This will invoke Figure 1.
