Web Monitor

The Data Director Web Monitor is a tool that lets the user view Data Director jobs and Scheduler logs centrally in a web browser from all Data Directors and Schedulers in the network. The purpose of the tool is to be able to view Data Director host statuses from any device at any time.

The Web Monitor consists of two programs, a website and a Microsoft Windows service. The website displays Scheduler and Data Director job information while the service sends email notifications for errors.

Note: Web Monitor is not in active development. No updates are scheduled for this product. We recommend still using Job Monitor Collection feature in Data Director and collect Monitor data centrally where it can be used for reporting or connected to external monitoring tools.

Tools needed for Web Monitor setup

  • Internet Information Service (IIS) 8.5 with .Net Framework 3.5 and 4.5 and ASP.NET 4.5 set up. The IIS will also need ISAPI Extension, ISAPI Filters, .NET Extensibility 4.5 but those components are usually automatically selected with the ASP.NET 4.5 selection.

  • The server running the Web Monitor needs to have an SQL Server or SQL Server Express running on the server and have SQL Server and Windows Authentication mode enabled.

  • The user running the installer must have Windows Authentication access to the SQL Server.
