For example, to create a monitoring server partition for a typical scenario with a monitoring agent outside of a NAT firewall connecting to a monitoring server behind a firewall, use the partition ID of your monitoring agent, two spaces, and then the IP address of the host of the monitoring server. Add additional IP.PIPE:nn.nn.nn.nn addresses on a single line for multiple network interface cards. See Sample partition file for more information on creating entries in the partition file.
