Tip: Simulating test results - Traverse monitoring - Connect IT Community | Kaseya
<main> <article class="userContent"> <div> <strong>QUESTION</strong>:</div> <div> <p dir="auto">I have a lab system and wish to simulate monitoring. I do not wish to have actual devices being monitored.</p> <p dir="auto"><strong>SOLUTION</strong>:</p> <div> <p dir="auto"><strong>IMPORTANT: This is not meant to be attempted on a production system. This is meant to be implemented only if you have a lab system and you do not wish the lab system to monitor real devices.</strong></p> </div> <p dir="auto"><br>Note that you would still need to set up devices and tests. There are various ways that can be done and we have a few articles on server migration that can be repurposed for this.</p> <p dir="auto">On the DGE and DGEX in question, in order that they do not actually perform true monitoring of the target devices, please make a backup and edit TRAVERSE_HOME\etc\dge.xml</p> <p dir="auto">Find the section:</p> <pre class="code codeBlock" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0"> <monitors><br> <monitor type='message' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.monitors.MessageHandlerMonitor'/> <br> <monitor type='edf' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.monitors.ExternalTestResults'/> <br> <monitor type='ping' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.monitors.NullMonitor'/> <br> .... <br> <monitor type='nrpe' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.agent.AgentMonitor'/> <br></monitors> </pre> <p dir="auto">and alter each of the class entries to:</p> <pre class="code codeBlock" spellcheck="false" tabindex="0"> <monitors><br> <monitor type='message' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.monitors.NullMonitor'/><br> <monitor type='edf' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.monitors.NullMonitor'/><br> <monitor type='ping' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.monitors.NullMonitor'/><br> ....<br> <monitor type='nrpe' class='com.zyrion.traverse.monitor.agent.NullMonitor'/><br> </monitors> </pre> <p dir="auto">and save the file dge.xml</p> <p dir="auto">Restart the Data Gathering component.</p> <p dir="auto"> </p> <p dir="auto">Once the simulation is complete, remember to stop all Traverse components and/or restore the original TRAVERSE_HOME\dge.xml file</p> <p dir="auto"> </p> </div> </article> </main>
