Created by Hamid Ali Raja SystemID It is a user-configurable numerical value that has been added for grouping a group of systems and improves filtering. It is just like a numerical code to which you can assign a value and query it afterwards. CustomerID It is similar to SystemID. It depends on user that how […]
The service operates in the background while your computer is running. The EventReporter 7.0 is installed as a system service during setup. It typically runs on each machine being monitored. However, some machines can also be dedicated to run it for housekeeping functions (for example log consolidation). The EventReporter 7.0 can be “engine only” installed. […]
A reliable IP transport protocol. TCP communication ensures that no packets are lost in transit. As such, it is most useful in low-bandwidth or unreliable environments. Examples are slow WANs or packet radio networks.
The IETF is an important Internet standards body. IETF is a short name for “Internet Engineering Task Force”. The IETF is responsible for the creation of RFCs. Unlike other, formal standards bodies it is loosely organized. There is no specific membership to the IETF, anyone (knowledgable) can become an IETF member just by paritcipating on […]
SETP is the “Simple Event Transfer Protocol” SETP allows reliable delivery of events between SETP supporting systems. SETP was developed for MonitorWare Agent basically and now it is added in the EventReporter 6.2 Professional version and WinSyslog Enterprise Edition as well.WinSyslog works as SETP client, only. It can forward only SETP messages. Whereas the WinSyslog […]
RFC 3195 is a relatively new IETF standard. It specifies how syslog messages can reliably be transmitted via a TCP connection. RFC 3195 optionally allows for message encryption and authentication of sender and reciver. Adiscon’s MonitorWare line of products implement the core RFC 3195 protocol (actually, Adiscon was the first one to do this on […]
By Rainer Gerhards The obvious answer is that low free space means upcoming problems, like the inability to receive mail (for mail servers) or the inability to store new files (for file servers). There are numerous obvious reasons why free space is an operations management priority. But there are also less obvious reasons: disk space […]
UTC is the so-called “universal coordinated time”. UTC was formerly referred to as “GMT” (Greenwich Mean Time) and is the basis of the international time zone system. For example, New York, USA is 5 hours behind UTC. So if it is 12 noon in New York, the UTC time is 5pm. The MonitorWare line of […]
A non-reliable IP transport protocol. It provides best effort delivery. Typically, in LAN environments UDP packets are never lost. However, in WAN scenarios or with heavily loaded LANs, UDP packets might be lost.
Syslog Facility is one information field associated with a syslog message. It is defined by the syslog protocol. It is meant to provide a very rough clue from what part of a system the message originated from. Tradidionally, under UNIX, there are facilities like KERN (the OS kernel itself), LPD (the line printer daemon) and […]
