Details on the Program Watcher tab for NTPwatch Properties in the NTpage Client. NTpage Watcher also employs a very simple method to watch a program to make sure it is still executing. This only works if the program was coded with this scheme in mind. It is not currently possible to watch any or all programs. Periodically, NTpage Watcher looks for a certain file on the disk. If it finds it, it renames that file to another name. Your program must periodically rename that file back to the original name that the Watcher is looking for. If the watcher program fails to see the file for a period of time, it will send out an alarm. To monitor a program, run the NTpage Client, click Configuration, NTPwatch Properties, then click the Program Watcher Tab. Click the Add a program to monitor button. Then fill in each of the fields as specified below. Program Watcher Tab Monitor Program Name Enter the name of the program you are going to monitor. ` Watch for file created by program Enter the full path and filename of the file that will be created periodically by the program that is being monitored. When file is found, rename it to NTpage Watcher will rename the file defined in the field above "Watch for file created by program" and rename it to this name. Send alarm if not renamed (in minutes) Have NTpage Watcher dispatch an alarm message to group if the file is not found to rename for this many minutes. Remove a Program from being monitored To remove a program from being monitored, run the NTpage Client, click Configuration, NTPwatch Properties, then click on the progam you are monitoring that you want to remove, then click the Remove a program from being monitored button. |
