Event and performance management
• Verify that IMC system-defined trap and Syslog definitions capture all events and escalate events to
alarms for devices as defined by the requirements you have gathered.
• Verify that IMC system defined trap and Syslog filters eliminate unwanted events as needed.
• Configure user-defined trap and Syslog definitions and configure to escalate to alarms as needed
to meet requirements.
• Configure user-defined trap and Syslog filters to eliminate unwanted events.
• Create user-defined global monitors to meet stakeholder requirements for monitoring performance
and reporting.
• Customize as needed the default set of monitor indexes before adding devices to IMC so that once
devices are added the default set of monitors are applied.
• Define performance monitoring thresholds for global monitors that map to key metrics for devices as
needed or that notify operators of degraded conditions.
• Configure status and configuration polling intervals for devices to map to key metrics and service
level commitments.
• Configure email, SMS, and alarm forwarding to other management systems based on
requirements.
• Identify custom reporting requirements for faults, performance, configuration, change, security, and
asset management.
• Configure Data Export based on data export and retention requirements.
Groups and views
• Define operator groups based on stakeholder requirements for access to IMC feature and devices,
users, and services managed by IMC.
• Create device, user, and service groups based on stakeholder requirements for device access and
management requirements.
• Create custom views based on stakeholder requirements for access to devices.
• Add vendor, device series, device category, and device model information.
Device access
• Create an SNMP template for every unique SNMP configuration.
• Create a Telnet template for every unique Telnet configuration.
• Create an SSH template for every unique SSH configuration.
• Create an SOAP/HTTP template for Virtual Resource Management to manage virtual network
devices.
• Create a WMI template for Virtual Resource Management to manage virtual network devices.
• Create a PowerShell template for Virtual Resource Management to manage virtual network devices.
System configuration
• Configure the transfer mode option for configuration center for transferring software and
configuration files.
