Pre-Requisites
In order to access the AutoMonitor Application and run an Express Scan, the following permissions are required:
Opsview User Role:
- CONFIGUREHOSTS permission defined in your Roles
- CONFIGUREHOSTGROUPS permissions defined in your Roles
- Access to the Opsview Host Group when running an AutoMonitor Express Scan to be able to create the Host Group Structure

Host Certificates

Troubleshooting
Failing Scans
If a scan fails the error will be recorded within the scan log, available via in the UI. The full error will also be recorded within /var/log/opsview/opsview.log
on the collector performing the scan. You can see these errors by running:
grep automonitormanager /var/log/opsview/opsview.log
Host group 'Automonitor' could not be created: Parent does not exist
Host group 'Automonitor' could not be created: Parent does not exist
This error is caused by the topmost Hostgroup having been renamed. The fix is to rename this top group back to the default of Opsview
and retry the scan.
