ConnectPlaza Monitor

The ConnectPlaza Monitor is a complementary product for Control. The metrics you can define in control are handled by ConnectPlaza Monitor.

If you have a license for ConnectPlaza Control, you can access the monitor via the url: https://www.connectplaza.com/monitor/

If you are not logged into you monitor you will see the login screen.

Type your username and password and press the button.

When logged in, you will see the following monitor screen with all your ConnectPlaza Agents.

In this example all the ConnectPlaza Agents are off line. You can access ConnectPlaza Monitor at all time, but to activate the metrics to show up in ConnectPlaza Monitor, you have to log in once into you ConnectPlaza Control environment. Once you have done that you configuration is active and ConnectPlaza Monitor will react on the metrics you have defined in ConnectPlaza Control.

As we start up some of the ConnectPlaza Agents you will see them coming on line. Every minute (default) the agents are checked for their running status.

The message at the bottom of the screen indicates a new notification has come in. This will be shown a few seconds and then it will disappear. You see two agents are on line.

As we look closer to the displayed indicator for the agent there is some explanation needed.
