3. How can I monitor LS server

The Monitor Console is a simple html console like this one shipped with LS.

The Monitor Console is by default not active. Follow this explanation from GETTING_STARTED.TXT to activate it:

-------------------------------
4) Activate the Monitor Console
-------------------------------

Lightstreamer features an internal Monitor Console that provides
the state of the Server in real time through an HTML page.
The default configuration comes with the Monitor Console not
activated, to avoid accidentally keeping it unprotected in production
environments. To activate the Monitor Console, edit the
"lightstreamer_conf.xml" file: go to the <monitor_provider> block and
change <public> from N to Y; then change <available_on_all_servers>
from N to Y.
For production environments, remmeber to protect the Monitor Console
through a user id and a password.

Thanks for your reply Mone.

I am using Free moderator version as for now, So to use Monitor console I uncommented <available_on_server> element under <monitor_provider> block.

So, here my question is how can I see the Monitor Console for results or how can browse to it for monitoring purpose as you showed on this link http://app.lightstreamer.com/MonitorConsole/

Thanks,

Mone

Hello,

you can access the MonitorConsole pointing your browser to an URL like this: http://yourserver/monitor/

Thanks,

Now I can access monitor page and I can see the page but I can't see any monitoring information on the page,

When I browse to the page it is asking me to provide username and password eventhough I didn't mentioned any Uname & PWD in xml file and I also checked by giving my uname & pwd but it was not taking them.

Hi,

please can you post the <monitor_provider> element from your Lightstreamer_conf.xml file?

indrajit

Hi,

This is my monitor_provider

<monitor_provider>


<public>N</public>






<available_on_all_servers>N</available_on_all_servers>



<available_on_server name="Lightstreamer HTTP Server" />




</monitor_provider>

The bold line indicates where I made the chnages

Mone

hello,

you are not allowing public access nor authenticated access:
[syntax="XML"]
<public>N</public>


[/syntax]

you should change the <public> element content to Y or (better) uncomment one or more <user> elements setting the desired user and password.
