NetWatch

A service can be managed or unmanaged using the provided checkbox. If a service is unmanaged this means it will not be polled for status information.

The polling interval is the amount of time between polls. You can increase this to reduce the amount of network traffic created by NetWatch.

The Average and Maximum response times of services can also be set. These response times are set in milliseconds. (1000 milliseconds=1 Second).

You can choose to raise an alarm when the service changes status or when it is slow to respond.

For more information on configuring services refer to Chapter 4.

Data Archiving.

Data archiving is used to store historical bandwidth usage figures for Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly graphs. Data Archiving is turned off by default. When data archiving is turned on the amount of Hard disk space required is considerably increased. For example, an average Access Router for 10 days requires approximately 17 megabytes of space.

Enabling Data Archiving.

Archiving is enabled through the ‘Administration’ section of Netwatch. The ‘Archiving’ configuration page allows you to specify how long you wish to store Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly usage figures. This page also gives you on idea of how much space archiving will require on your hard disk based on your current configuration. Note that these are just estimates and you will need to monitor your disk usage to prevent the disk from filling up. A full disk in NetWatch will prevent monitoring from taking place.

Disabling Data Archiving.

To disable archiving simply set the Daily, Weekly, Monthly and Yearly archive periods to ‘0’ and save the changes.
