Alerting
If faults are detected, Sentry-go can take the appropriate action automatically - e.g. to restart a failed service, clear down temp. files, pause the printer or print job etc. Alternatively, it can alert one or more Administrators or departments via e-mail, network message or your chosen means of delivery - e.g. by SMS or pager notification.
Reporting
With its fully integrated web server, you have immediate access to many HTML based reports, direct from your desktop browser. Information comes directly from the monitoring & alerting engines either to show you what has happened recently on the server (e.g. recent alerts), or the real-time picture of what is happening now. These include:
- The current Server status - incl. monitored files/directories
- The current status of local printers
- The current status of the server's print queues
- The ability to redirect a print queue to a new port
Configuring
Designed to be easy installed & configured, Sentry-go solutions get you up and monitoring in minutes. Many options are pre-configured, so you're monitoring key areas of the server straight away - simply edit the threshold limits to match your environment. For ultimate flexibility, however, all options can easily be controlled through the Configuration Utility, which allows you to enable, disable monitoring features, edit existing values and monitor new areas - e.g. custom services & performance items etc.
