NetWatch

NetWatch uses the MySQL database to store configuration and historical information. This is the largest part of NetWatch, so you may wish to install it on a drive other then your system drive. To do this select "custom" from the set-up type screen. Then choose "MySQL" and change the destination drive/directory.

When the installation completes NetWatch will be successfully installed and can be used by accessing the User Interface.

Accessing the User Interface

After NetWatch is installed and running you can access the user interface of NetWatch by pointing a web browser to the machine running NetWatch. If you chose a port other than port 80 during installation you must specify it in the URL, e.g. to access NetWatch running on port 8080 on the local machine, go to:

http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Once NetWatch is successfully installed, NetWatch and all its related components are installed as services. These services can be stopped and started accordingly using the NetWatch Service Manager. The details of the services are below:

	Service		Details

	NetWatch		System service can be Stopped / Started
	MySQL		Database service can be Stopped / Started
	Tomcat		Web Server service can be Stopped / Started

Architecture Overview.

NetWatch is a completely web based network management tool. Using its unique web front-end, services on network devices can be configured and monitored from anywhere on a local LAN or on the Internet.
