6.6 LoggerNet Server Monitor
The LoggerNet Server Monitor is a utility that is used to monitor the status of
LoggerNet when it is being run as a service or being run on a remote computer.
Once started it can be minimized, where it resides in the Window’s system
tray. An icon, which changes color depending upon network status, provides a
visual indication of communication with the dataloggers in the network and
whether or not the LoggerNet server is running. Multiple instances of the
Server Monitor can be started to monitor multiple LoggerNet servers running
on remote computers.
The Server Monitor is started from the Window’s Start menu, Programs |
Campbell Scientific | LoggerNet | Utilities | LoggerNet Server Monitor.
When first opened, a Login dialog box appears. This dialog is used to specify
the name or address of the computer running the LoggerNet server that you
want to monitor. If the server is running on your local computer, use the default
name of LocalHost. Otherwise, enter the valid name or IP address of the
remote computer running LoggerNet. If security is enabled, you will need to
type in a user name and password.
The LoggerNet Server Monitor can be run by a user assigned any
one of the five levels of security.
Once you are connected to a LoggerNet server, the main window of the Server
Monitor will be displayed. This window shows messages related to the activity
of the LoggerNet server that are written to the Comm.log. By default, only
Warning and Fault (failure) messages are displayed. However, you can choose
to monitor Status messages as well by selecting the Options | Show All menu
item. When the Show All option is enabled, a check mark will appear to the
left of the menu item. This option is a toggle. Select it once to enable it; select
it a second time to disable it.
When the LoggerNet Server Monitor is minimized, a Campbell Scientific icon
appears in the Windows systems tray:
.
The icon has three states:
(white background/black text) The LoggerNet server is running, and
no Warnings or Faults have been encountered.
(white background/blue text) The LoggerNet server is running, but
Warnings or Faults have occurred. There have likely been
communication problems with a device in the datalogger network.
