Sentry-go Setup - Step 4 of 4
(Configure the Web Reporting & Date Format)

 
The Step 4 dialog box allows you to enable or disable and configure the Quick Monitor's Web Reporting features ...

Embedded Web Server

The Sentry-go Quick Server Monitor contains an embedded Web Server - a component that allows a Web browser such as Microsoft's Internet Explorer and Netscape's Navigator to connect directly to the server and display reports based on the monitored data. For example, a list of recent alerts triggered & current performance information. To enable HTML Reporting from this monitor, the Web Server facility should be enabled. 

Enable Web Reports from this Quick Monitor To enable web reporting of the monitored information, select this option which allows the web server to function. 
 
If unchecked, no web reports will be accessible from the Quick Monitor. You can enable/disable this facility later if you wish, through the Configuration Utility.
    
Enable Remote Command Execution  through the Web Server Select this option if you wish to be able to logon and execute remote commands directly via the Virtual Command Session web page on your desktop. This is useful for servers where no remote control software is available or where a slow network connection may prevent the use of such solutions. 
 
Although the Virtual Session is secure - i.e. it requires a Windows logon & password before commands can be run, it is recommended that this option remain unchecked where maximum server security is required
   
For security, this option can only be changed after installation by editing the Windows Registry on the server.
 

To view an HTML report, you simply connect to the Web server from your desktop browser and access the appropriate page. This page can either be the report's own page or the Quick Monitor home page - which allows access to all other pages available on the local machine. 

  • To access the home page for a server listening on the default port 80, the URL would be ...
     
    http://<Server Name>
     

  • To access the home page for a server listening on a non-default port (e.g. 84), the URL would be ...
     
    http://<Server Name>:<Port No>
    http://<Server Name>:84
     

  • Alternatively, you can use the Sentry-go Web Launcher to launch your browser on the appropriate home page.

Date Format

The Sentry-go Quick Monitor can display dates in any of the formats listed. The default will be selected  based on your current Windows settings but you can override this by selecting your preferred format.

Press continue to proceed to the next step.

Upon selecting "Continue" on this screen, Setup will display any monitor-specific Setup dialogs. These allow the monitor to be pre-configured in a matter of minutes, and save you having to configure each setting manually.
