For managing a host in the monitoring solution a Smart Proxy providing
the monitoring feature has to be assigned. This can be done during
provisioning or as a bulk action from the host overview.
You can configure the default action which will be done during host provisioning and de-provisioning. Provisioning allows to create a monitoring object or take no action while de-provisoning allows deleting the monitoring object, set a downtime or take no action. For rebuild, it will by default set a downtime.
The plugin will show you the monitoring status as a sub-status and a detail panel. You can configure if the sub-status should affect the global status.
Furthermore, it allows to individually set a downtime at the host detail view or as a bulk action from the host overview.
Logging entries relevant to the plug-in will be located in the Foreman's log
which is by default /var/log/foreman/production.log.
Also, check the troubleshooting section of the Smart Proxy plug-in if problems occur in the underlying communication.
