24x7 Web Console 4.1

Enviroment: 24x7 Master Servers and Agents (3.5.27 windows and 4.1 Windows/Linux/AIX)

Questions:

(1) Can I use the web console to connect to 24x7 Agents or is it just for master servers?

(2) Is there a way to specify a port number if I am not using a default port for 24x7? Defaults are 1096 and 1097

(3) I have turned on user-level security and created a user id for my self in the administrators group. When I log in I can't see job properties far any jobs. Message says I have to be the owner or an Administrator. If I create a NEW job I can see/modify the properties of that new job.

Thanks,

I'm sure I'll have more questions later. ;-)

1) Yes, you can, but it is really designed for schedulers. On the other hand, you can always run the scheduler as an agent, just enable the server mode; you don't have to create local jobs.

2) You can modify text of logon_proceed.jsp script file and replace 1096/1097 with numbers that you use. This file can be found in the root folder of the web console and edited in Notepad or any other text editor.

3) I guess, you didn't enter the correct account name in the Users settings. Please ensure it is in domain\user format if 24x7 is running on a Windows system or matches your local Unix/Linux/Mac user name if it is running on a non-Windows system

I would really just use it for looking at the 24x7 log on the remote agent. I could probably use the Build consolidated job status report template to create a job to pull the log files into a central location and get the same result.

I saw that when I was poking around and I was hoping that I could do something more dynamic like <server_name>:<port>. Guess I'm not that lucky.

But if I had the wrong user name it should give me a connect denied error message right??

If you want, you can configure the agent to write HTML logs to some shared directory on the network drive where you can open them in a web browser.

You can also schedule periodic copying or ftp-ing of schedule.log files from different systems to a common directory on the network and run there HTMLGen utility that comes with the Windows version using the appropriate command line parameters. This utility can create common HTML log adding agent name to the log as the left most column. For more details please run HTMLGen from the command prompt.
