Help: Monitor

Monitors up

DomainScan can monitor TCP port on devices, so that it is possible to monitor if important network services is responding.

If a monitor does not behave as intended (i.e. the monitor fails) then an event is created with information about what monitor, what device, and finally the actual event.

DomainScan is only capable of monitoring whether or not ports are responding. In case it is needed that the application can take actions in case of port failures, please consider using DomainScan Pro, which features a response system.
DomainScan Pro is also equipped with SNMP and WMI monitors, which can be used to monitor disk usage, process usage, memory usage, and much more.

Setup up

1 - Monitor name and type up

To create a monitor, 4 steps must be completed:

1 – Define monitor type and name.

2 – Define settings specific to the monitor type.

3 – Event setup.

4 – Select targets (only user monitors).

Name
The name of the monitor (max 32 characters).

Monitor type
The monitor type.
Depending on the type of the monitor, one can also specify `Connect as´.

Pause
If set, then the monitor will not run. Any events that were created by this monitor, prior to the monitor being paused, will be treated as cleared events.

2 - User monitor up

Monitor mode
Set how the monitor works. There are 3 options:

Use individual user settings	If selected, then the monitor will compare the current login count with the allowed number of logins that are defined for each user. An event will be created for each user that exceeds the number of allowed simultaneously logins.
Warn, if the user is a local user	If selected, then the monitor will create an event if the monitored local user is logged into a device.
Use defined maximum	If selected, then the monitor will compare the login count for users with the value that is defined by the monitor.

User notification

The user notification option is only available in DomainScan Pro

2 - IP Range monitor up

Ports

Select the ports that this monitor must scan.

Options
Here, one can enter specific TCP ports that are not currently defined in the port list. Any port can be entered, and if one selects a port that is already defined, then this port will be selected.

Note	If one doesn’t select any ports, then the monitor will simply test that the device is online.

IP range

Define the range of IP addresses that this monitor must scan.

3 - Event setup up

Event details

Event severity
The severity of the monitor. The severity level can be set arbitrary.

Create an event if target is offline
Instructs the monitor to issue an event if the target device is offline.

4 - Targets up

Monitor targets
(This window is not available for IP range monitors)

Select the devices where the monitor is to run on.

To assign the monitor to an entire domain, click the domain, and the monitor will automatically be assigned to all devices in the domain (unless domain monitors are disabled on specific devices).

In DomainScan Pro one can also assign monitors to domains, which means that new users and devices will be automatically monitored.
