How to install MonitoringPLUS

Installing MonitoringPLUS is a straightforward process designed to get your monitoring and support up and running quickly, so you can begin benefiting from proactive alerts and rapid remediation. While this is a managed service rather than a traditional software installation, there are practical steps your IT team can follow to ensure a smooth activation and ongoing operation:

1. Confirm eligibility and purchase: Validate that your Extreme Networks devices and environment are eligible for MonitoringPLUS and complete the purchase against the H34737 SKU. Ensure your billing contact and service dates are correctly recorded.
2. Register in the Extreme Networks Customer Portal: Access the customer portal with prepared account credentials. Create or attach your network inventory, including device serial numbers, model types, and locations to enable accurate monitoring and asset tracking.
3. Bind devices to MonitoringPLUS: Enroll the eligible devices into the MonitoringPLUS service profile. This creates a direct feed for health checks, performance metrics, and fault detection that the monitoring platform will continuously ingest.
4. Configure monitoring policies and alert thresholds: Customize alerting for critical devices and services, prioritizing outages and performance degradation that impact business operations. Apply standard templates if available, and tailor escalation paths to your on-call or NOC team.
5. Establish escalation and contact procedures: Define who gets notified, how alerts are escalated, and the preferred contact channels for urgent issues. Ensure that on-site teams, MSPs, or external partners are aligned with the service expectations.
6. Schedule kickoff and health review: Arrange a kickoff with Extreme Networks technical resources to validate device registrations, verify monitoring accuracy, and confirm the 4-hour hardware replacement workflow. Collect any on-site access details or facility requirements needed for rapid remediation.
7. Test and validate: Perform a controlled test of alerting, failover simulation, and notification routes. Confirm that service levels (24x7 monitoring, 4-hour replacement) trigger correctly and that replacement procedures are understood by the on-site team.
8. Document and monitor ongoing performance: Maintain a living performance baseline and review reports regularly to identify trends, capacity needs, and optimization opportunities. Schedule periodic health reviews with Extreme Networks engineers as part of the renewal cycle.
