IC I thought the RCC interfaced directly with hostmonitors web agent. Then hostmonitor would facilitate adding the test. Your saying that when I use the RCC that I also need to Add that host to every RMA agent that I might want to modify remotely with the RCC?? I thought controlling perms through th...
