Connecting to a Server

Before you can use the client, you must connect the client to a NerveCenter server. This server collects data from managed devices, creates alarm instances, and performs the actions defined in alarms. The server also gives the client access to information about alarm instances and the status of nodes.

You can connect your client to more than one server at one time and view information about all the active alarm instances being managed by those servers. However, only one server can be the active server. The active server determines which NerveCenter database is used when you ask for a list of polls or the definition of an alarm.

For information on how to establish a connection with a NerveCenter server, see the following subsections:
