Monitor

The screen contains settings that determine how Sentinel monitors devices, queues, and the overall system.  To keep your changes, click Save.

NOTE: The Sentinel service must be restarted after any change to the monitor interface.

 

Status

Explanation

Monitor Sentinel service and auto-restart if necessary

If selected, Sentinel starts another process, SNTMON.EXE, which sends a UDP message to the standard Sentinel process (COMTCP.EXE) every few seconds.  If the standard process doesn’t respond to three consecutive messages, the monitor process kills the standard process and restarts it. 

If selected, you must specify the IP address of the Sentinel server.

NOTE: This field is not kept in the Sentinel database, but in the file C:\Sentinel\Service.ini on the local server that runs the IIS.  This is because there may be several Sentinel servers writing to the same database. If IIS is not installed on the same server that runs the Sentinel service, you can edit this file manually and add the IP address of the server on each server separately.

IP Address

Displays the IP address of the Sentinel server (required if using Monitor Sentinel service and auto-restart if necessary). You can edit this field.
