Server Monitor Issue-My Server Wont Stay in List

Using server monitor on my G5 Desktop, or on the G4 Xserve is useless.
The problem is that the server no longer appears in the list. When I add it, it just flickers on the list for a second, then it disappears. Does anyone know what could be happening?
G5 Client: OSX 10.4.5
G4 XServe: OSX 10.4.5

I FIGURED IT OUT
I had the "Show Warnings and Failures only". This is kind of stupid because you are not aware that the server is listed. I guess this makes sense from a server farm viewpoint. Maybe there should be a checkbox that says "Make all servers visible" or something like that.

  • Server Monitor Issues!! HELP

    I am trying to get server monitor to work and all I am able to do is pull up the system profile. Is there any reason why I can do that but not get any other information? I am guessing that if I am able to get the system profile I should be able to pull all the information. This is on Intel and G5 xserves.

    Sorry for being bland on the issue
    I have 2 servers 1 is a G5 the other is an Intel. The G5 is working great. The Intel is not working. Here is the issue with the Inel machine:
    I have eddited the com.apple.hwmond.plist file and
    made it identical to ones I have running that work. I rebooted and
    hwmond is not running. I then decided to run as su in terminal
    /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup and I am getting back errors.
    /Users/admin root# /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup
    launchctl: propertyList is NULL
    launchctl: no plist was returned for:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
    launchctl: no plist was returned for:
    /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.hwmond.plist
    nothing found to load
    any ideas?

  • Server Monitor issues again?

    Just upgraded my laptop with 10.5.3 (client version) which I use to manage servers. Since the Xserve's running 10.4.11, I downloaded the separate server monitor version a while back that supports this after they broke it with the 10.5.2. upgrade.
    Now SM doesn't show any servers listed and then crashes. Anybody else having this issue? Is there a new version out?
    Wolfman

    I had the same problem. I upgraded both my client and my X-Serve to 10.5.3 only to discover that while Server Admin and Workgroup Manager were okay, Server Monitor crashed immediately when trying to connect. Using ARD, I copied the version of Server Monitor from my X-Serve that had been upgraded to 10.5.3 to my MBP and that solved my problem. I also copied Server Admin and Workgroup Manager down to my MBP as while they seemed to work, the version under 10.5.3 Server had different sizes.

  • Server Monitoring issue

    I have a clean installation of CFMX 9.01 J2EE version.  In the Admin tool when I click on Monitoring Settings I get this error:
    Variable ERROR_SETTINGS is undefined.
    Then when I click on Server Monitor I get this error:
    The isMonitoringServerEnabled method was not found.
    Any ideas why?  Everthing else appears to work fine..
    - Alex

    ok I have fixed this.. Turns out I did not apply the 901 update.. Now cf monitoring works.

  • Server missing in Server Monitor after connection

    Hello!
    I'm facing a strange issue on our XServe (10.6.4).
    We have enabled LOM for this Server and created an account for this.
    All is working fine.
    When I open up Server Monitor (on the Server or a administrating Mac) I can see the Server with the information on start up: No response since....
    Once the connection to the Server is established it's gone from the Server Monitor.
    This is a real strange issue I'm facing.
    Have anyone maybe a suggestion to me?
    Thanks a lot

    Hi,
    You add windows server 2012r2 GUI via PowerShell:
    1.Determine the index number for a Server with a GUI image (for example, SERVERDATACENTER, not SERVERDATACENTERCORE) with Get-WindowsImage -ImagePath <path to
    wim>\install.wim.
    2.Run Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart –Source c:\mountdir\windows\winsxs
    3.Alternatively, if you want to use Windows Update as the source instead of a WIM file, use this Windows PowerShell cmdlet:
    Install-WindowsFeature Server-Gui-Mgmt-Infra,Server-Gui-Shell –Restart
    Hope this helps.

  • Server Monitor can't see server

    Machine and OS specs:
    2 x 2GHz Dual Core Intel Xserve using 1 x ethernet port
    OS X 10.4.10
    I have just installed a new Xserve set up with mirrored RAID drives which is working perfecty apart from the Server Monitor will not connect just giving the message 'waiting for response'. I have tried all the various admin and root passwords and even tried to connect from my older G4 Xserve with the LOM password, but get the same result. All other administration software works fine.
    I have searched various forums and advice sites, but the suggestions I've found have not worked. I read that the com.apple.hwmond.plist can be edited to <false/> from <default/>, but when I open the file in a text editor I get this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple Computer//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

    </plist>
    - already set to <false/>!
    When I try to connect to the server via it's Terminal by typing ssh -l adminuser (my IP address) I get the message: 'The authenticity of host '(my IP address) (my IP address) can't be established'. This leads me to think something else is up. I can ping it OK.
    I have tried pretty much everything I can think of including manually setting IP addresses etc, but I would really appreciate any help or advice with this one.
    Thanks.

    Hi
    On the XServe launch Server Monitor, select Add Server and in the IP Address field key in 127.0.0.1 or localhost. In the Name and Password fields key in the default System Administrator account details. Click on Save password in keychain and select a suitable Update every settiing. If you launch WGM you will see the System Administrator account already listed in the local NetInfo node (UID 501). Use the short name as listed in WGM.
    Although I have not had the chance to do this yet, but enabling Lights Out Management (LOM) opens port 623 which Server Monitor can use. This may allow for remotely using Server Monitor to monitor the XServe.
    Hope this helps – Tony

  • Server Monitoring Feature Unavailable - CF10 Standard

    Hi,
    We have recently undergone the process of installing ColdFusion 10 Standard on our new server, and were looking to test performance across the two.
    Within the ColdFusion Administrator, Server Monitoring>Settings and Server Monitoring>Server Monitor, I receive the message, "This feature is not available in this edition of the ColdFusion server.
    Under System Information the version is listed as 10.0.11.285437 and up to date. The server itself is running Windows Server 2008 R2.
    This was the original article to configure server monitoring.
    However I then ended up with another article, which involved editing neo-monitoring.xml (linked in previous), which did not appear to do anything.
    If someone can shed some light on why I am getting this error, as it says the standard version only limits use of the monitoring API, that would be much appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Scott

    Hi Scott,
    You need Enterprise or Developer edition to run CF Server Monitor.
    You could try Java JVM logging or JMX style monitoring that is freely available in Java which CF Standard and Enterprise runs on to get some performance metrics.

  • CF8 cfthread, server monitor, and active threads

    When I run this code:
    cfthread
    part III or any cfthread without a thread join and then go to
    the CF Administrator -> Server Monitor -> Statistics ->
    Active ColdFusion Threads, I don't see the threads ever going away.
    They just build and build everytime I run it. I can get it to
    go all the way up to 400+ threads and stay there untill I restart
    Jrun. I think this is a monitor issue because I'd hate to think
    those threads are tied up and still active.
    Thoughts?

    Neo,
    I have noticed the same thing. Now for the odd part. If you
    click the 'start monitoring' button and then run your thread test,
    the threads don't appear in the Active Coldfusion Thread report!
    When running our application, I noticed the Coldfusion thread
    count getting up to 80,000+ threads in the span of a couple of
    hours. If we can't figure out what is causing this, we are going to
    downgrade back to CF7

  • HOW TO: Relay/Send email from websites, Server Monitor in OS 10.5 Server

    If you don't want to run your own mail server or configure DNS on your Xserve, but you still want your website or applications like Server Monitor to send email notifications; this is what you need to do:
    Scenario: Mac OS 10.5.2 Leopard - Advanced Configuration - Setup is for strictly sending emails through SMTP, routed through your ISP or another provider. This is not for receiving emails.
    -Open up Server Admin
    If you have yet to add in a server to admin, you need to do so. Resource PDFs on setting up OS X Server are available at Apple http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/ and there are video tutorials at http://movielibrary.lynda.com/html/modPage.asp?ID=373
    -Click on your server, then choose the Settings button
    -Then choose Services from the Tabs/Buttons below
    -Select the Mail checkbox and then hit Save
    -Now choose the newly added Mail service in the left pane, then click the Settings button up top
    -Start with the Advanced tab. Under Security, un-check everything and don't use SSL unless you want to. You don't need to mess with the other sub-tabs here.
    -Next choose the Logging Tab. Under SMTP log level, choose debug so you will be able to see what goes on in the log.
    -Mailing List, Quotas and Filters tabs can go untouched. You can mess with them later if you want.
    -Click the Relay tab. It is a good idea to only accept relays from your local machine. If you uncheck this, I believe it leaves you with an open relay that anybody can access.
    -Now for the General Tab. Under Domain Name put anything you want. Any made up name and extension is fine.
    Under Host Name, again put anything you want.
    Un-check Enable POP, Un-check Enable IMAP - Basically un-check everything
    Check or leave checked Enable SMTP
    Now check Relay outgoing mail through host:
    Then enter your hosts SMTP server. ex. smtpout.secureserver.net
    Now check Authenticate to relay with user name: and enter your username and password
    -Now hit the Save button
    -Now we need to take a look at the main.cf file and add a few things
    -If you aren't showing all files in Finder already, open up Terminal.app
    Now type in: defaults write com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles True
    Hit enter
    Now type in: killall Finder
    Now Finder should reset and all files should be visible - To hide all files, do the same thing but type False
    -Now open Macintosh HD and navigate to /private/etc/postfix/main.cf (Note: you won't be able to open and edit this in TextEdit. I recommend a program like TextWrangler http://www.barebones.com/products/textwrangler/download.shtml )
    -Once you have main.cf open, all your settings should be together at the bottom of the doc. Scroll down. You will need to add in a few lines and verify all the settings are exactly as below (except of course your own names and SMTP server):
    readme_directory = /usr/share/doc/postfix
    mydomain_fallback = anything.anyting
    messagesizelimit = 0
    myhostname = anything.anything
    mailbox_transport = cyrus
    mydomain = anything.anything
    mailboxsizelimit = 0
    enableserveroptions = yes
    inet_interfaces = all
    relayhost = smtpout.secureserver.net
    smtpsasl_passwordmaps = hash:/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd
    smtpsasl_authenable = yes
    smtpdsasl_authenable = no
    smtpsasl_securityoptions =
    smtpduse_pwserver = no
    smtpdrecipientrestrictions = permitmynetworks,reject_unauthdestination,permit
    smtpdpw_server_securityoptions = none
    -Now save the main.cf document
    -Now go back to Macintosh HD and navigate to /private/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd
    Open passwd with TextWrangler or you editing app, and verify that your SMTP server, username and password are correct. It should look something like this:
    smtpout.secureserver.net [email protected]:password
    -This should be what you entered in Server Admin when you first started. If all is well, quit your editing app.
    -Now, while you are still at /private/etc/postfix/sasl/passwd you need to edit permissions for passwd
    You can chmod in Terminal.app or secondary click on passwd and "Get Info"
    Click the lock and enter your password to unlock the settings
    Next click the + button and add yourself and Admin
    -Now you can close out of everything and go back to Server Admin
    -Hit the Reload (twisty arrow) button at the bottom and once everything is reloaded, hit Start Mail
    -Now type localhost in your browser to see if your website can send email. You can also open up other apps such as Server Monitor and do something to change the status to have it send an email.
    -You can click on Mail in the Server Admin and then view the SMTP log. As long as emails are being sent and then removed from the queue, you are in good shape. If you are getting an SASL error or mechanism error, open up main.cf and verify your settings and/or check permissions on passwd file

    Don't you need the Mail service running to have apps like Server Monitor send email notifications? - Also for hosted sites that use the sendmail function you need a service running to get the emails sent.
    Really you are not hosting a Mail server. It is open, but there is no incoming and if you only accept SMTP relays from the local machine, there should be no issues.

  • What is a "logged in user" on the "Active Sessions" report in CF8 Server Monitor?

    I was looking at the Active Sessions Report (The Chart View) and saw I have more "logged in users" than "active sessions".
    I had expected them to be nearly the same.    It's on our Intranet where I log users in (using cflogin and cfloginuser) at the begining of their session and users should be logged when the session ends.
    I couldn't find a detailed explaination of what a "logged in user" means.   There is a chance that the same user is logged into a nested application as well as the Intranet, but I don't think that is what I'm seeing.
    I also don't see a way to get a list of what CF is counting as a logged in user.  I can only see a way to get the total count.
    Any help is appreciated. 
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Thank you Michael for the reply, but I don't think that is the issue.
    When a user opens their browser on the intranet, a session begins and they are logged in (using the cflogin and cfloginuser).    If they close their browser, the session should hang around for 20 min. (per the server setting).   I am assuming this is still considered an "Active Session" since I can see this behavior in the report.
    At first, the Active Sessions and Logged In Users are exactly the same.   When the sessions start to time out, the active sessions are reduced,  but the Logged In Users remain the same.    Then,  after a while, they start to move together.  So I have more Logged In Users than Active Sessions.
    I left the Server Monitor open last night and for most of the night, I had 0 sessions, but 57  "logged in users".   This morning, as people opened their browsers, the Active Sessions and Logged In Users moved together.   The gap of 57 looks consistent.
    It looks like people are remaining logged in after their session ended.
    I am really looking for a detailed explaination of "active session" and/or "logged in user" as used in the server monitor.  It would be really nice to find a way to list the details about each item counted in the "logged in user" and not just the total count. 
    Thanks Again for your reply.

    Hi sachin,
    You can monitor your sattilite systems through solution manager.
    If you want to monitor systems in solution manager means you need to configure those systems in solution manager.
    Before including the systems in solution manager we need to create a solution using tcode <b>DSWP</b>.
    After that you can include the systems using tcode <b>SMSY</b>.
    For configuring the systems we have lot of phases its very difficult to explain here.

    Hello,
    Your output you posted does not makes sense or may be I am not able to understand it..If you want through analysis I need following from you
    1.
    select
    (physical_memory_in_use_kb/1024)Memory_usedby_Sqlserver_MB,
    (locked_page_allocations_kb/1024 )Locked_pages_used_Sqlserver_MB,
    (total_virtual_address_space_kb/1024 )Total_VAS_in_MB,
    process_physical_memory_low,
    process_virtual_memory_low
    from sys. dm_os_process_memory
    2 What is reason for keeping Max server memory and Min server mmory almost equal. 55 G is MAX and 45 G is min.
    3. Does SQL server account has locked pages in memory privilege ?
    4. Did you see any out of memory error ?
    5 Please post output of DBCC MEMORYSTATUS and SP_readerrorlog on skydrive and post location here.
    PS: SQL server utilizing memory is normal behavior ,what you posted does not exactly points to memory pressure and what seems to me cause here is poorly written queries running.

  • Server monitor not working (hardware monitor)

    Just finnished installing my brand new maxed out Intel Xserves. And the Server monitor isn't working.
    This thread:
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=643361
    Didn't solve my problem. hwmond is running on the Xserves but each server line just says "Waiting for response". My /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras file doesn't even HAVE a Disabled key. It has Label, OnDemand, Program, ProgramArguments and ServiceIPC keys, but no Disabled. And the hwmonds is running anyway.
    I have opened server monitor on the xserve itself and tried to open it to itself with no luck. I have configured Lights out management by choosing Server->Configure local Machine and added another IP there with different login, but I can't connect to either IP. Firewalls are all turned off.
    Running /System/Library/ServerSetup/SetupExtras/hwmondSetup just says "already loaded"
    Server Admin works, I can log in and edit services. Workgroup manager also works.
    When i run the hwmond as root on the server, it says "Failed to communicate with the front panel" which could be due to hwmond already running, but I can't turn off the process since launchd (?) launches it again.
    When I choose "Configure local Machine" the password I entered is always blank, but maybe that's by design.
    Since these servers aren't installed yet I have them in my office and their IP's are temporary, so I read this:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106830
    And it says that for this environment I should set the hostname to "localhost" in /etc/hostconfig. Done. Nothing changed.
    I've googled this and searched here but found nothing. I'm running out of options... What should I do?

    I set the server on a desk and do a fresh install off a DVD with the "erase HD" option. Then I install and configure the software I need (Software update, Sophos, power options, etc.) I did not configure LOM at that point, because I wasn't sure how to do it, and I needed to deploy the server. (luckily LOM was easy enough to set up after it was deployed.) Once the server is ready, I connect a FireWire HD to it, which has OS installed on it and boot from that.
    That way my server is just an attached disk, and I use Disk Utility to create an image of it, which I then deploy on other servers.
    I've had an issue with the G5 XServes where such a method required relatively simple modification before the server monitor would work:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301046
    But, I've not had to do that with the Intel XServes.

  • Server monitor not working

    Guys,
    I have server monitor installed on a 10.5.8 client mini to monitor our 9 xserves and it works fine on all the older ones (all G4 or G5 xserves running tiger or panther) but will not detect any of the 4 new Intel Xeon xserves running 10.5 (mixture of .6 and .8). In each case it alternates between reporting "Software is not installed properly on server" and "CANNOTLOAD_BUNDLEERR".
    I'm assuming this is something specific to 10.5 - some sort of SNMP setting or something perhaps? Obviously I've checked the passwords, I'm using root username/password for each one, all the servers are on and available, and like I say, it's working fine on the older ones.
    Anybody had any experience with this and know the answer?
    Further info: 3 of the servers (of which one is 10.5 and not working) are on the local network (local to the monitoring mini), the remaining 3 10.5's are each on other LAN's to which I have a currently working VPN. In each case the 10.5 machine which isn't working is on the same LAN as an older machine that is, so I know that's not the issue.

    The Intel XServes seem to operate differently than the old G5 units when it comes to LOM. Mine has been giving me a bugger of a time getting Server Monitor to work properly, but right now it seems to be functioning..
    Have you gone to Server Monitor on each of the Intel units and set up the "Configure Local Machine" from the Server menu? It should reject you if you enter the IP address of the Ethernet connection to your LAN - you have to use a different IP address. Configure only the information for 'Network 1' with the info for your LAN.
    It may be purely anecdotal, but it seemed to start working for me after I enabled the firewall on the server, leaving all the ports on the LAN open and shutting everything down on the other address groups.

  • Acrobat Connect Pro LMS 7.5 server cache issue - displaying old content

    Our Adobe Acrobat Connect Pro server is showing old Captivate-created content from about 4-6 weeks ago.
    I loaded 35+ sets of Captivate 3 (SCORM 1.2, HTML, zipped) content onto our Acrobat Connect Pro LMS about 6 weeks ago.
    I converted all training content from Captivate 3.0.1 to 4.0.1, 4 weeks ago by opening each file in Captivate 4 and following prompts to "Save As" new files with different file names.
    I reloaded all content 4 weeks ago, and again 2 weeks ago.
    I reloaded about half of all content again last week.
    End User Acceptance testing performed this week showed that most of the courses are showing old content, ranging from 2-6 weeks old
    Attempted fixes and workarounds:
    Deleting content entirely and reloaded from scratch - this will not work long term, as we lose usage data each time we reload completely new files.
    Contacted Adobe, provided times to track incidents of the issue.  We reached Tier 2 - who told us it was our problem and that everything appeared to be working fine from their side.
    New workaround - load new content and reattach course to new content.  This presents the same long term issue as the first workaround, but enables us to retain older versions of content in the system, should we need to revert or report on it.
    Gaining server side access is a bit challenging due to the hosting situation we have, so I am looking (ideally) for a solution that can be performed from the Administrator/Author Frontend.  However, I want to learn the real cause of the problem, wherever it might reside, so that it can be properly corrected and avoided in the future.  I am calling this a server cache issue, as it seems the server has somewhere retained unwanted old versions of content, preventing current content from being displayed to end users.  Viewing content as an end user = see old content.  Viewing content from the Content area (Author view) shows the current files, so I know they are on the server and are loading correctly, up to a point.
    I am preparing all content for another round of loading/reloading due to other issues and updates, so republishing and reloading all 35+ files into the LMS is unavoidable at this point.
    This issue is keeping our LMS from launching to several thousand users across the country, so any suggestions or helpful tips are much appreciated.

    I think I have isolated the source of this problem. It's the Pitstop Professional 9 plug in. I un-installed this, and everything opens quicker than greased lightning. I re-installed it and it's back to slowsville.
    Unfortunately Pitstop is essential to my workflow.
    Until recently I did my pre-press on a Mac G5 with Acrobat Pro 7 and Pitstop 6.5. I never had this problem with slow file opening. But it seems that the delays would occur when I used the plug-in with large complex files.. So it would open files as fast as you'd expect from an elderly machine. But starting to use Pitstop would result in a prolonged period of staring at a spinning beachball.
    I wonder is there any way to stop the Pitstop plug-in from initializing until it is used? So the plug-in stays inert until you select the tool from from the menus.
