Services
Figure 72: Service Status Window
There are 3 TruVision Navigator services that can be enabled to perform tasks for users.
Standalone installations will only show the Network Time Protocol service in this dialog
since the other services are embedded in Server Settings menu. After services are
configured, they allow activities to take place without the user being present. As long as
the service is running on the machine, the tasks will be executed. TruVision Navigator
does not need to be open.
Users can manage their services from this dialog which is launched from the gear icon in
the application status bar. If an exclamation point appears over this icon, it means that
at least one of the services is not running.
Network Time Protocol – this server-side service can be used to distribute time to
devices on the network. You must configure the device’s NTP to point to the IP Address
of where this NTP service is running (i.e. its location).
Diagnostic Polling - this server-side service can be used to periodically pull health
diagnostics from devices in the system for reporting / issue resolution. The polling
frequency (i.e. nightly at 3am) can be configured from the Health Diagnostics Tab on the
TruVision Navigator Server Properties dialog.
Notification Service - this server-side services can be used to capture notifications that
are pushed from devices. Pushed notifications (via TCP or SMTP) typically include
alarm, video loss, motion, etc... Devices need to be configured to push the notifications
to the location (IP Address and Port) of these 2 services. The matching notification ports
must be configured in TruVision Navigator from the Notifications Tab on the TruVision
Navigator Server Properties dialog.
