Summary, Tags, and Recent Messages

The Sensor Summary sectiongives you a brief summary of what is happening with the sensors you currently have configured and running.

The Tag Filter section is used to filter sensors for certain criteria. IPCheck features a method for assigning categories (tags) to sensors.

Usage is simple: Just check the boxes left to those tags that you want to be displayed, in any desired combination. IPCheck then filters the sensors for those tags, hiding those sensors that have neither of the chosen tags assigned. Tags within one group are linked by OR, tags between the groups are linked by AND. (See Working with Tags for more information)

Clear Tags clears the selection of tags, thereby showing all sensors in the sensor list again.The Messages/Errors and Activities sections are described in detail under "Reviewing Messages/Error" and " Reviewing the Complete Activity Data" later in this manual.

A notification is the way IPCheck Server Monitor alerts the administrator or an user when a sensor discovers a problem or if a problem is solved. A notification can be an email, a message on your mobile phone, or an ICQ message and it will be shown on your personal homepage after logging in. Notifications can be sent out immediately or only if the error is not solved within a specified time.

For more information on notifications see the Managing Notifications, Latencies and Dependencies section of the manual.

Additionally you can create monitoring reports that show the results of the monitoring requests historically down to each single monitoring requests, Reports list all of the findings through the monitoring of a group/server/sensor (i.e. as a data table or as a graphical view).

See the Reporting and Graphing section of the manual for additional information.
