Health Monitoring

If the Maintenance & Support option has been purchased, Health Monitoring is included in your installation. Symphony Server sends every 15 minutes for each camera a health packet which contains health information about the server.

Aimetis offers a managed service that enables users to login to the Aimetis Xnet and see the status on all Symphony Services. Health Packets are sent as UDP packets.

 

Each Health Packet contains the following information:

       Server name

       Server ID

       Camera ID

       Source IP address

       Version of Aimetis software running on the server

       Amount of CPU the AI Tracker has used

       How long the AI Tracker has been running

       Number of alarms

       Amount of free disk space

The health packet interval can be re-configured in the Manual Configuration Editor.

Modifying configuration incorrectly can cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall  Symphony. Aimetis cannot guarantee that problems resulting from incorrectly modifying the configuration files can be solved. Do this at your own risk.

To reconfigure the health packet interval:

1.      From the Server menu, select Manual Configuration Editor.

2.      Select the Section = Main and Key = StatusInterval row.

3.      In the Value field, enter the number of seconds between packets. The default value is 900.

        To apply change to a single server only, select the row where Type = Server, Id = the server's logical ID.

        To apply to all servers in the farm, select the row where Type = Global and Id = <empty string>

4.      Click OK to save changes.

5.      Restart the  Symphony services in order for the changes to take effect.

All log files per server are prefixed with hm-*  and found in the log file location designated during the Setup Wizard installation process.
