Monitoring DeskmanDeskman can be monitored by using Anfibia Reactor, our own server monitoring solution. The process is as simple as installing Reactor and adding a new monitor. Follow the steps below:
- Download and install Anfibia Reactor.
- Open Anfibia Reactor and create a new user.
- Go to the Monitors page.
- Click Add to add a new monitor.
- Enter a name, such as "Deskman".
- Enter the URL: "plugin:CheckDeskman(IP)", where IP is the address where Deskman is running.
- Click on Email, Twitter or SMS, to receive alerts. Go to the Settings page to configure Alerts.
- Pres Return or click Save to finish.
Reactor will monitor the provided IP and contact Deskman, if available. If the computer is running, connected to the network, but Deskman is not, an error will be triggered.
Monitoring Many IPs at OnceMultiple Deskman installations can be easily monitored at once. Thus, if Deskman is not running on one, or more, of the provided IPs, Anfibia Reactor will send you an email, Tweet or SMS. This can be accomplished with just one monitor, by editing the CheckDeskman() plugin. Follow the steps below:
- Open Anfibia Reactor and go to the Plugins page.
- Click on the CheckDeskman plugin to open it in editing mode.
- Locate the following line in the code window: local staticHostnameList = {}
- Enter your IP addresses, comma separated, between quotes, inside the braces, like this: local staticHostnameList = {"192.168.1.5", "192.168.1.13", "10.0.0.33"}
- Click Run to check the plugin for errors.
- Click Save.
- Go to Monitors and add a new one with the URL: plugin:CheckDeskman().
- Click Save.
