Server Monitor for BusinessObjects XI
Overview
Server Monitor for BusinessObject XI is a Windows application that can
monitor the health of all the BusinessObjects servers in your company.
Server Monitor for Business Objects XI consists of two applications:
- Client - This is a Windows application that visually represents the status of the many components of a BusinessObjects server: Services, Metrics, Jobs and Alerts.
- Server - This is a Windows Service that monitors constantly the overall health of one or more BusinessObjects Enterprise servers. In case an alert is triggered it will be published to the Event Log or an email will be sent. This service has to be configured using the client application.
Server Monitor for BusinessObjects XI can monitor the following items:
- Services - Monitors the health of the different BusinessObjects servers,
and allows you to stop, start, restart or disable one or more of these
servers. A different domain account must be specified in order to
perform these operations.
- Metrics - Over 30 real-time metrics are graphed for easy visualization
and to keep track of the BusinessObjects servers' current status. These
information can be easily pasted into Excel for further analysis.
- Jobs - Get a quick snapshot of all the schedules and running instances
on the server. Also you can pause, resume or delete one or more
schedules at the same time.
- Alerts - Runs a basic health-check on your BusinessObjects server to
easily identify potential problems or bottlenecks with your systems.
