In addition to creating a managed object from a base class, you can also create a managed object from either the derived classes that are released with Operations Sentinel or any site-defined derived classes.
You can create a new managed object by either
Using the wizard.
Copying an existing managed object and updating its properties.
To add a new managed object using the wizard
In Administration mode, expand the Managed Objects node to display the available object classes.
In the navigation pane, select the derived class on which you want to base this object.
Click New Object on the File menu.
A wizard appears and leads you through the process of configuring the properties of the managed object.
When the wizard is complete, enter or modify properties in the details pane that did not appear in the wizard. The properties for the new object are based on the properties of the base class of the derived class. See the properties for the appropriate base class for detailed information on configuring the properties of the managed object.
Save the managed object so that it becomes available to all users and Operations Sentinel can begin monitoring it.
To copy an existing managed object
To create a new managed object, you can also copy and modify the properties of an existing managed object. Using an existing managed object to create a new one could save you time by eliminating the need to reenter similar data twice.
