OpManager Plus Enterprise Edition Installation

OpManager Plus Enterprise Edition can be deployed in cases when geographically distributed networks need to be monitored from a central location, or if there is a need to monitor more than 1k devices.

ManageEngine recommends the installation of a Central server and a Probe to effectively achieve a distributed network monitoring environment.

.

Central Server: Central periodically collects health, performance and fault data across all Probes and consolidates the information in one location.

Probe Server: The Probe periodically polls the devices in the local network and updates data to the central server. It has to be installed at the Remote Location.

Note: If OpManagerplus is run with MSSQL as the backend database, then the MSSQL database must be configured before proceeding with the following installation.
