2. In the Administrator dashboard, locate the Unix/Linux Systems panel and click 
to start adding a system for monitoring.
3. In the Create New Linux System wizard, fill out all the necessary information. Once completed, click to add the system.
4. A pop-up message will confirm that the Linux Host has been added successfully. Click OK to dismiss and proceed to configure the Linux user to be used for monitoring.
5. Provide the account information in the wizard and click to complete the configuration.
Realm - If the server supports Kerberos authentication, enter the domain name.
