Create a Monitoring Location A monitoring location associates an instance, connectivity profile, and feature profile with a network area. This could be a physical location (for example, Pittsboro Office, building 3) or a virtual location. You must define at least one monitoring location to assign a Minion to an appliance. This is the penultimate step to set up communication between your Minion Appliance and OpenNMS. Choose Appliances Locations in the left menu. Click Add New.
