Extended Monitoring Guide

Navigate to the device that has an RPC server that needs to be monitored. (Add the device if necessary.)

From the page menu, select More → zProperties.

Choose zProperties from the Server menu and set the appropriate RPC command to test in the zRPCCommand zProperty (for example, nfs or ypserv).

Click Save to save your changes.

From the table menu, select Bind Templates to display the Bind Performance Templates dialog.

To add the RPCServer template and retain other performance templates, hold down the control key while clicking on the RPCServer entry.

Click OK.

The RPCServer template should now be displayed under the Performance Templates for Device. You can now collect the RPCServer server metrics from this device.

If a specific port is being used, or the RPC PortMapper service is not available on the remote device, select the RPCMonitor template and change the Port option as needed. The default is 0, which is a special value that indicates to use the remote device's PortMapper.

Validate your configuration by running zencommand and observing that the check_rpc command correctly connects to your RPC server:

zencommand run -v10 -d YourDeviceName
