Notification Tab

To be notified when some counters exceed a certain amount, you will need to enable the notification options. In the Notification tab you’ll be notified if some server parameters exceed what you define as appropriate.
Notification

You can choose any of the counters monitored by the 2X Terminal Server Agent and set the appropriate number accordingly. For example, if you want to be notified when a terminal server is handling more than 45 sessions simultaneously or if the terminal server has more than 10 disconnected sessions, simply check the appropriate checkbox and set the right amount.

Set or browse to a computer on the network that you would like 2X ApplicationServer to send a warning message to in the Notify Options>’Send warning message to this computer: field.   Choose a particular computer on your network and/or send a message to any email address of your choice.

To send a message to a computer on the network, select ‘Send warning message to this computer:’ and click on ‘...’ to select any of the available machines on your network.
To send an email to a predefined email address you must first setup the mailbox details.  Check the ‘Send Email to’, box and type the receiver’s email address (for example, support@2x.com) and click on ‘Mailbox Setup...’button.
Mailbox Setup
Type in the sender address you would like to see (for example, support@2x.com)
Enter the SMTP server address to be used. If your SMTP server requires authentication when sending emails through it, make sure you select ‘SMTP Server requires authentication’ and type in the correct username/password to be used.

You can also configure different ports for the SMTP server by append ‘:’ port.  (i.e. mail.company.com:465)

To connect with an SMTP server that requires a secure connection enable ‘Use TLS/SSL’ checkbox.

After you setup the Mailbox details, simply click ‘OK’ and then ‘Send Test Email’. The email address you typed in the main Notification Tab should receive the test email.

To configure the notification interval for each warning message sent to a computer on the network or by mail, type the amount of minutes in the ‘Notification Interval’ field.

Logging Tab


Set the ‘Logging’ field to Enabled, Disabled or Enabled with extended information.  

In the ‘Log File’ field, set the location of the log file to be used. This field is read only so the user cannot set it; available for information purposes only.

To view the contents of the log file, click the ‘View Log...’ button.

To purge the log file, click the ‘Clear Log File’ button.
