Installing the Ping Monitoring tool

Prerequisites

• DataMiner version 10.3.9 [CU2] or higher

  Important

  The DataMiner Ping Monitoring tool was tested to be compatible with DataMiner versions 10.3.9 [CU2] and higher. We do not recommend using an older version as this may lead to unexpected issues.

• A DataMiner System connected to dataminer.services

• The Generic Ping connector

  Tip

  We recommend using Generic Ping version 3.1.2.11 or higher. See Deploying a Catalog item.

• At least one Generic Ping element within your DMS that is configured with one or multiple destinations

  Important

  The DataMiner Ping Monitoring tool will only recognize Generic Ping elements using the production version of the connector. See Promoting a protocol to production version.

  Tip

  • For more information about configuring destinations, consult the Generic Ping connector documentation.
  • See also: Working with elements in DataMiner

• Depending on your DataMiner version, you may need to enable the following soft-launch options:

  • GenericInterface

  • ReportsAndDashboardsDynamicVisuals

  • ReportsAndDashboardsButton

  Note

  To check whether your DataMiner version requires these soft-launch options, see Overview of soft-launch options.

  Tip

  See Activating soft-launch options.
