What about them is giving you trouble?

shabeer wrote:-How to add Firewalls?

This depends on what you're trying to monitor about them. You can get started with the same method as for switches.

There is a "Switch" wizard for this.

There is a "Website" wizard for this.

Yes, and there are wizards for this - you just need to know the OIDs you're looking for and make sure you have the relevant MIBs.

This one is a bit trickier. Currently you would need to figure out how to compile NRPE or NSCA on it, although we're working on a project to do it just with standard shell scripts instead to alleviate this problem.

Our next release for xi will have an option to define a custom SMS carrier. It should be coming out in the next week or so.
