The Monitor Server
The Monitor server allows you to monitor the status of IMail Server and other services. In addition, the Monitor server provides a means for you to perform system administration tasks using a Web browser.
- Monitor IMail services (SMTP, POP3, IMAP4, LDAP, PServe, Whois, Finger, Syslog, Web server, and Queue Manager) as well as disk space on the IMail Server primary system.
- Have the monitor program send email, a pager message, or a beeper message when a service is down.
- Monitor other services such as DNS, NNTP, WWW, FTP,
and Telnet on either the local or a remote system.- Monitor the default gateway on the local system or on a
remote system.When you view service status from a Web browser, services displayed in green are up and running; services displayed in red are down.
You can access the Monitor functions either from IMail Administrator or from any Web browser (if the Web Administration feature of the Monitor server is configured and running) connected to Port 8181 of the IMail Server system.
As a Windows service, the Monitor service can run completely hidden or with some feedback, and continues to run when you log off the Windows system.
The Monitor server gets its settings from the Windows registry and two .ini files found in the winnt directory: Monitor.ini and ipnotify.ini. These .ini files are used to maintain compatibility with Ipswitch's WhatsUp network monitoring tool, which may be installed on your system. This is so that any notifications you have defined in either IMail Server or WhatsUp automatically show up in the list of notifications in the other application.
