While not merely a configuration parameter, the names of the servers running the system monitoring NLM (AUDITLGN.NLM) is maintained by the Admin tool. The servers are not only named here, but the servers are actually remotely configured to run the NLM.

There are two action buttons which are active unless the contents of the "Servers Being Audited" window is changed:

• Restart NLM - This will make a connection to the server(s) selected in the "Servers Being Audited" window and remotely attempt to UNLOAD and then LOAD AUDITLGN.NLM on each server. If the NLM is not already loaded, only the LOAD will occur.
• Upgrade NLM - This will copy AUDITLGN.NLM from the consolidation server master directory to the server(s) selected in the "Servers Being Audited" window and remotely attempt to UNLOAD and then LOAD AUDITLGN.NLM on each server. If the NLM is not already loaded, only the LOAD will occur.

There are two window panes:

• Servers Not Being Audited
• Servers Being Audited

You can select one or more servers from either window for transfer into the other column using the Add and Delete buttons. However, no action is taken until the Save button is clicked.

When the Save button is clicked, any servers that were not being audited prior to the operation are dealt with first.

Besides adding the server to the configuration, the Admin tool will optionally:

• Copy the NLM from the distribution on the consolidator to the remote server. The same directory path as the one containing the distribution will created if it does not exist.
• Start the NLM on the remote server. If there is already a NLM called AUDITLGN.NLM running, it will be unloaded.
• Add the LOAD command (including the entire path) to the end of the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on the remote server.
• If you are adding multiple servers, you can apply your selections for the above options to the remainder of the servers.

After adding new servers to the configuration, any servers that have been removed from the configuration will be dealt with second.

Besides removing the server from the configuration, the Admin tool will optionally:

• Remove the AUDITLGN.NLM file from the server.
• Unload the NLM remotely. This should always be selected since the consolidator will ignore any data sent to it from servers that are not in the audited servers list.
• Remove the LOAD command from the AUTOEXEC.NCF file on the remote server. This should always be selected, especially if you have removed the NLM from the server.
• If you are removing multiple servers, you can apply your selections for the above options to the remainder of the servers.
