Starting Health Monitoring
You can start Health Monitoring by proceeding as follows:
1 Open the Network Monitoring application.
2 Go to ‘NE’ tab.
3 In the left panel select one or multiple NEs1.
4 Right click on the selection to open the menu.
5 Under menu item ‘Health Monitor’ select ‘Start’.
6 Wait for message “Selected NE added to Health Monitoring successfully”
(this may take up to a few minutes depending on the number of NEs).
During this process FOXMAN-UN automatically executes the following tasks for the related NEs:
Enable SNMP on the NE (if not yet enabled).
Add SNMPv3 user and passwords on the NE.
Modify or create PM Collection job ‘HEALTH_MONITOR’.
Change health monitoring status: Not Started/Stopped -> Starting -> Running.
Important note: Do not proceed with other NEs before step 6 is concluded.

1 If someone is logged in to the node from FOXCST as Session Manger, adding this node to health monitoring will fail. Any user must close existing FOXCST with Session Manager privilege on a node before starting Health Monitoring.
