There are two ways of adding Up Time to Widgets in NetCrunch.
First one - select one from our predefined counters. These counters are added to NetCrunch by default. If UP TIME is not added as a predefined counter to your device, see second way . Please note that the monitored node must have SNMP enabled. In order to add up time monitoring from predefined counter:
- Create new map (or edit existing one) and add data widget - Value and Text is most suitable here
- After Widget is added edit the properties
- Counter Source should be
Selected node, now select the node, which UP time you want to monitor - Select Counter - In most cases Currently Monitored on Selected node should contain UP Time by default
- If UP Time is not present in Currently Monitored on Selected Node, select
SNMP Performance counters -> Predefined counters -> Performance object: Global -> Up time - Select Milliseconds as a display units
- Multiplication factor should be 1000, because this counter has "Seconds" unit, so it has to be multiplicated by 1000 to give desired result
- Apply changes and save map, widget will be updated shortly.
- To Check if everything was configured properly , right click on widget and select SNMP View, after data is loaded, compare UP time from SNMP info with the widget.
