When you add nodes using Network Sonar Discovery, the hardware health sensors are enabled for devices that support hardware health monitoring automatically.

When adding individual nodes with the Add Node wizard, you can enable or disable hardware health monitoring in the wizard.

If the hardware health poller was not discovered correctly on an SNMP node, list monitored resources for the node and ensure that the Hardware Health Sensors box is selected. To re-discover the hardware health poller for multiple nodes, contact support.

Enable hardware health monitoring when adding nodes with the Add Node wizard

When selecting resources for monitoring a node in the Add Node wizard, select the Hardware Health Sensors box to enable hardware health monitoring.
