Selecting a List of Existing Objects

This is the easiest way to select PATROL objects to blackout from a list of existing objects in the PATROL Console.

Blackout KM for PATROL reads the PATROL Agent’s configuration and builds a list of currently existing PATROL instances. The list is displayed in a tree-like list, outlining the way the objects are displayed in the PATROL Console.

To select the instances to blackout, simply find the item in the list and click on it. It is possible to select several items at the same time.

If you wish to select an item as well as the item’s sub-items (the items placed underneath it), select the object from the list and click "Blackout the selected objects and those placed underneath."

Select the PATROL instances to blackout and click Next to continue.

Examples

1. To blackout the whole PATROL for DELL OpenManage KM, select the "DELL" item from the list and click "Blackout the selected objects and those placed underneath."

2. To blackout one or several process monitoring of Application Sentry KM for PATROL, simply select each process from the tree.

The list of objects to blackout is dynamically built at the start of each blackout. This has no impact on the blackout if the option "Only blackout the selected objects" was chosen. However, if the option "Blackout the selected objects and those placed underneath" was chosen, the list of subitems may change at the start of each blackout to reflect the current list of subitems at the time of the blackout.
