Active Monitor
The Qube 3 uses Active Monitor software, a Cobalt Networks utility that runs on
a Qube 3 and updates key system and service status every 15 minutes. This
section describes how to use the Active Monitor.
Active Monitor icon
The Active Monitor icon in the top right corner of the Server Desktop
allows you to view status information. The icon turns red if any of the
components monitored by Active Monitor have severe problems.
Active Monitor Status
To view the Active Monitor Status of a system component or a service:
1. Select Administration > Active Monitor > Status. The Active Monitor
Status table appears; see Figure 96.
2. You can click the Check Status Now button to begin updating system and
service status information immediately. This may take as long as several
minutes and proceeds in the background.
