This topic applies only to the following products:

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.
