Changing Hosts

NV4IP shows reports based on the primary host. The primary host is the TCP/IP stack associated with the IP address used in the Logon page. If you wish to monitor resources associated with a different Host, you must execute a Change Host request. After executing the Change Host command, you are prompted to logon to the system whose resources you wish to monitor. To do this, complete the following steps:

1.      Click on the Change Host icon located in the task bar directly below the Commands tab. The Change Host screen appears.

2.      Use the table on the right to determine which Host you wish to monitor. Select the Host name from the list provided, then click Change Host.(If the desired Host name is not listed, you will need to go to the Master and Add a Host Definition.)

3.      You are prompted to enter a user ID and password, which should already have been created for the new host to which you want to change. Enter the required information, then click Submit.
