Remote Connection
|
How It Works
|
|
The
WebWatchBot 5.0 remote connection allows you to install the
WebWatchBot Enterprise engine on one server, and run the WebWatchBot Manager
(or user interface) on a different machine.
Since all
monitoring tasks are run on the server, you can off-load performance
requirements to the more powerful PC, but still access the WebWatchBot
interface from a desktop without the hassle of having to remotely connect via
Remote Desktop or Terminal Services.
The same
installation package is used to install on both the server and the client machines. Each computer is activated with a license key
that determines its role. An Enterprise license key is
activated on the server and a Remote Client license key is activated on a
remote client.

Remote Client Setup Requirements
|
- TCP/IP connection between the client(s) and server. Proxy
connections are ok. If connecting over the Internet a VPN connection is most
likely required.
- Connection to the server's database via ODBC.
- Access and permission to server's data folder, e.g.
\\machinename\c\documents and settings\all users\application data\
exclamationsoft\webwatchbot [3,4,5]\

Limitations
|
|
The server can perform all normal actions and the user interface (WebWatchBot Manager)
can still be used even with Remote Connection enabled.
The remote clients can perform most actions with the exception of the following:
- Remote Clients do not perform any monitoring functions.
- The WebWatchBot service cannot be stopped or started from
a remote client.
- Some preferences that require a service restart are disabled:
- Log settings.
- Watch Item defaults.
- Change the server from running as a service or application.
- Change the Watch Item used to determine connectivity loss.
