Monitor > Appliance Hardware > Master Server

This view lets you monitor the hardware summary of appliance master servers that are added to the OpsCenter Analytics console. The view provides a quick visual cue to hardware status. You can monitor any hardware failures in the appliance master servers that are added to the OpsCenter console.

OpsCenter can monitor the appliance 2.0 master servers.

Adding an appliance master server is similar to adding a regular master server to OpsCenter. More information on how to add an appliance master server to the OpsCenter console is available.

See Adding a master server or appliance in OpsCenter.
