System Sensors (Local or Remote)

The System Sensors allow monitoring of several Windows specific system parameters:

·      Service Sensor: Monitors if an “NT service” is running on a Windows system (Windows NT/2000/XP/2003)

·      File Sensor: Monitors a file for existence, file size, or changes

·      Disk Space Sensor: Checks available disk space of a disk drive

Local System Sensors are monitoring the system parameters mentioned above on the machine running IPCheck Server Monitor (or the machine running the selected Remote Probe respectively). Local System Sensors are using the local SYSTEM account.

Remote System Sensors are monitoring the same system parameters but on remote machines. You must supply an Active Directory Domain name, a user account, and a password so IPCheck Server Monitor can log into the remote machine to actually access the readings.

While the Local System Sensors use the local SYSTEM account, the following additional fields are required for all Remote System Sensors:

·      Logon/Server Domain – Enter the name of the server or the Active Directory domain name, which should be used to log on

·      User – enter the login name (for the server / domain entered above)

·      Password – enter the password (for the account entered above)

An additional field is only required when setting up a Remote Service Sensor:

·      Machine Name – enter the Windows machine name of the computer you want to monitor
