Self-registration enables automatic recognition of newly monitored entities. Ecosystem Manager creates new metadata when receiving events that identify new entities. Ecosystem Manager creates the metadata for new data centers, servers, daemons, daemon groups, tables, applications and jobs and sets up dependency relationships between them. This reduces the amount of manual configuration you need to do in the Ecosystem Configuration portlet.

For self-registration to work, enable the self-registration setting for the global parameters in the Ecosystem Configuration portlet.

The following table shows self-registration cases for various entities:
