Managed objects
Contents
The information managed by the Server Monitor is structured on three different levels:
Level |
Description |
|---|---|
Computers |
Each computer on which a Server Manager runs becomes visible to the Monitor. All FraudOne components managed by the Server Manager (servers) can now be controlled by the Monitor. The computer object groups together all other objects running under the control of that Server Manager on that machine. |
Groups |
Components running on a computer can be grouped together depending on their function. All ASV servers can, for instance, be found in the ‘ASV’ group. |
Servers |
Servers are FraudOne components (programs) managed by the Server Manager. |
The Server Monitor provides two views:
View |
Description |
|---|---|
Computer based |
The top level shows the computers, the second level shows groups, the third level shows servers. This provides for easy management by computer. |
Group based |
The computer level is missing. The top level is the group level, servers are shown below. Servers located on different computers, but belonging to the same group are shown on the same branch. This view is better suited for large installations, where one group stretches over multiple computers. In this view, the computer name one server belongs to is displayed after the server name. Some computer management functions are not available in this view. |
Levels can be collapsed and expanded to customize the display on your screen.
Each higher information level reflects the state of the levels below. Thus, even if all lower levels are collapsed, you can still tell if there are stopped servers, or if servers have raised an error condition.
You can pass some commands to all objects of a level, by selecting the level and issuing the command. For instance, you can start all servers of a group by clicking on the group and sending the start command.
