Any node (target or monitoring host) must be entered into the NODES table before anything can be done about it. There is a 'AddNode' CGI script to facilitate this, however, the monitoring host must be set up before the CGI script can be used, so the monitoring host information must be manually added to the NODES table. This can be done by manually entering MySQL with a write enabled MySQL account, and using the 'INSERT into NODES...' command, or by creating a CSV file with the information in it for the node or nodes to be entered into the NODES table.
The CSV file must have the table name on the first line as in the example below. The next line must be the names of the TABLE fields, all on one line and prefaced by a '#'. The following lines (note that there must be only one line per node, but the example wraps due to the formatting of this text) contains the field contents each separated by a comma (','). Note that the alias name for monitoring hosts must begin with the string 'iepm-bw'.
For example:
