Checking Server Status

RiverMaster’s main interface is designed to quickly show the Aurorean Virtual Network’s “health” when you start the application. The health conditions are organized into three categories:

HProblem summary and users logged in

HAurorean Network Gateway statistics

HAurorean Policy Server statistics

Problem Summary & Users Logged In

As shown in Figure 8, counters at the top and bottom of the interface track both error conditions and successful tunnel login attempts. The Problem Summary counters are updated whenever RiverMaster receives one of three types of messages:

HAlarms notify you when a significant error occurs with a service running on a Aurorean Virtual Network system or a general server problem that is preventing the server from operating normally.

HAlerts occur when an error count threshold has been crossed and an alarm condition is imminent.

HProblem Notification messages typically indicate an error at the Aurorean Network Gateway or a remote client connection problem which Aurorean Client Software’s Prescriber feature diagnosed and reported. Prescriber is a Aurorean Virtual Network feature which diagnoses why a tunnel connection failed and attempts to correct the problem.
