System monitor provides you with a quick, visual overview of the current state of your system's servers and cameras through colored tiles that represent the system hardware. By default, the system displays tiles that represent all Recording servers, All servers and All cameras.
The color of the tiles:
Tile color |
Description |
|---|---|
Green |
Normal state. Everything is running normally. |
Yellow |
Warning state. One or more monitoring parameters is above the threshold value for the Normal state. |
Red |
Critical state. One or more monitoring parameters is above the threshold value for the Normal and Warning state. |
You can customize the server and camera tiles if you want to display more or less tiles on the dashboard. For example, you can set up tiles to represent a single server, a single camera, a group of cameras, or a server group. You can also delete a tile if you do not want to use it or edit its monitoring parameters. Monitoring parameters are, for example, CPU usage or memory available for a server. If you remove these parameters from the server tile, the tile does not monitor these parameters on the relevant tile. Click Customize in the upper right corner of the tab to open the Customize dashboard window. See Customize dashboard for more information.
Tiles change their state and thereby color based on threshold values set in System monitor thresholds. While the system does set some default threshold values for you, you can decide for yourself what the threshold value should be for each of the three states. To set up or change threshold values, you can use System monitor thresholds. See System monitor thresholds (explained).
If a tile changes color and you want to know which server/parameter that makes the tile change color, click the tile. This opens an overview in the bottom of the screen which shows the colors red, yellow or green for each monitoring parameter you have enabled for your tile. Click the Details button to get more detailed information about why the state has changed.
If you see a warning sign and place your mouse above it, the system shows you an error message.
The system monitor functionality requires that the Milestone XProtect Data Collector Server service is running.
