Overview

Status Summaries

The ServerAssist overviews give summarised and aggregated information from all connected computers, showing key information for all those computers.

The summaries provide colour-coded status indicators to allow an 'at a glance' review of the whole network.

• The group summary report displays consolidated key indicators across the computers in each group, and displays a grid of status information, together with metrics underlying that information.
• The computer summary list displays one icon for each connected computer, with the colour of the icon indicating the 'worst' key indicator state for that computer.
• The computer summary report breaks down the key indicators for each connected computer, and displays a grid of status information, together with the metrics underlying the status information.

The aggregated information brings together data from all connected computers, merged and sorted, and presents it as a single view.

• The merged alert list contains all alerts for all connected computers. The status of alerts can be changed, alerts can be deleted, and notes can be added.
• The merged event logs report shows events from all connected computers, merged so that all events are presented in chronological order. If required, events can be merged by log type.

ServerAssist provides automatic notification when preset processor, memory or disk space usage thresholds are exceeded or when selected events occur, generates comprehensive and detailed status reports and performance graphs, and ensures key services are operating correctly.

The computer summary report provides an "at a glance" indication of system health across all connected computers, showing status information for raised alerts, processor load, memory usage, available disk space and failed services in an easy to review grid. Each indicator is colour coded to indicate the severity of the problem, if any.
