3. Add Gateway host to WinRM trusted hosts. Run the following command:

Please make sure the failover Gateway Host (when configured) is included.

4. Enable Basic Authentication. (Optional)
If the monitored Windows host is a standalone computer (not part of a Domain), the Basic authentication must be enabled. Run the following command:
