On the 'Appliances' tab select the Collector type from the dropdown list (Hardware (Legacy only), Software (Windows Client or Linux Virtual Machine, RaspberryPi), or Virtual (Virsae Cloud)

Info
titleLegacy Hardware Appliance Only

If a  Legacy Hardware Appliance is being installed the MAC address, a Name, and the IP addressing are required to be entered. The MAC address can be found on a label on the appliance itself.

To allow VSM to generate alarms and notifications, if the appliance is offline, ensure the 'Enable Appliance Create Alarms' box is checked and that the appropriate number of minutes is set in the 'Create Appliance Alarm Interval Minutes' that suit your own business rules.

A lower number of minutes here will result in more frequent alarms due to minor internet outages, whereas a longer duration may result in you having a larger window of missing information in VSM - should there be an extended fault. The default value is 10 minutes.


Info
titleVirtual Collector Only

If a Virtual Collector is being administered then only the 'Details' and 'Appliance' tab's are required to be populated before clicking the 'Add' button.
