Configuration » Servers
Any server running Sensor(s) or Filter(s) must be listed under Configuration » Servers. The Console server is
automatically added during installation.
To add a new server, click the <+> button from the title bar of the Configuration » Servers panel. To configure
an existing server, go to Configuration » Servers and click its name.
The
Server Configuration
window contains the following fields:
●
Server Name
– A short name to help you identify the server.
●
Graph Color
– The color used in graphs for this server. The default color is a random one, which can be
changed by entering a different HTML color code or by clicking the drop-down menu.
●
Reports Visibility
– Enable if Reports » Servers should contain icons of the components the server runs.
●
Device Group
– Optional description used within Console to group servers by location, role, etc.
●
Server ID
– Unique identifier of the server, used when exporting NFS shares.
●
IP Address
– The IP address of the server as defined during the WANsupervisor service installation. Can
be public or private, IPv4 or IPv6.
●
Linux Distro
– The Linux distribution installed on the server.
●
Hardware Key
– Read-only string used for licensing purposes. The hardware key field is updated by the
WANsupervisor service on installation or when the hardware, IP or hostname changes. When the string
changes, ask sales@andrisoft.com to register your hardware key.
●
Monitored Network Interfaces
(optional)
– The WANsupervisor service can monitor packets/s, bits/s,
errors and dropped frames for each interface that exists on the server. The data is available in Reports »
Servers » [Server] » Server Graphs » Data Units = Server Interfaces. These stats are provided by the OS.
●
Comments
– Comments about the server can be saved here. These observations are not visible
elsewhere.
Server Troubleshooting
✔
For the server to be operational, make sure it always runs the WANsupervisor service and that its clock
is synchronized with NTP. You can verify the operational status of each server in Reports » Components
» Overview » Servers.
✔
The WANsupervisor service breaks when the MySQL service running on the Console server is restarted
or unavailable even for a short amount of time (e.g. networking issue). In this case, either restart
WANsupervisor manually or use automated tools such as systemd, monitd or similar.
✔
You can discover performance-related issues by monitoring Reports » Server » [Server] » Server Graphs
and Reports » Server » [Server] » Server Events.
