monitoring local workstations and servers?
i am working on a client project that we hopeful plan on landing by the end of the week.  they have a lot of workstations and a few servers.  i need to monitor these back to my spiceworks server but in the past i got 5000 emails every 30 seconds that didn't seem to be legit half the time.  i have tried the network monitor tool which is okay.  is my best option to setup remote agent on their server?
network monitor is the ideal tool for monitoring servers - it does everything real time and i think you likely need to just adjust your thresholds so you get less emails.
spiceworks inventory is not intended to be used for monitoring - you can do some aspects with it, but if you're looking for real time monitoring, you're probably best off finding another tool.  if you want to do asset management and keep an eye on the devices for things like disk space, then we're going to be a good fit.  for 500 workstations, if you can avoid using the agent and just directly scan them, you will be better off from a performance standpoint - assuming the environment is fairly consistent, once you figure out how to scan one workstation, those changes should likely apply to the rest (maybe via gpo).  
i hope this helps somewhat.

hi @gzimmermann - we do send engineers out to take routine readings, whether you have a smart meter or a traditional meter. they'd be from morrisons data services if we've sent them, and they should carry identification if you did want to ask for proof.

hope this helps! hi@thebatswhiskersjust checking in on your half hourly usage issue?i think you’re also effected by the situation outlined in this topic, where i confirm:please be advised that there is a known issue effecting some customers, where half hourly usage information is not populating ontoonline usage graphs, despite good smart meter comms, and a populated monthly chart.if you haven’t already, we’d appreciated it if you could make oursupport teamaware of this, so a ‘case’ can be raised, helping us to identify the volumes of those effected. [VNC](http://www.realvnc.com/index.html) is an excellent tool for this purpose. There are other versions out there called UltraVNC, TightVNC. You can also use Remote Desktop if these are Windows machines.

Your Question is incomplete


is the specific system is not on Network? its might be a problem discovered last year, that system ping but not share any data, or cannot access the system


you click on start menu and then click on run  

type serivces.msc  

and run the computer browser service, Remote Procedure call service, Server, and Client service


and your problem will resolved  

but actually this is because of virus change your antivirus program and scan your system wtih updated A/V The question is can you get out of your computer and after that the thing to check is can you resolve any domain names. Try going to a command prompt and checking to see if you can ping your computers IP address then the gateway then try to resolve domain names.


ipconfig /all


Will give you the information you need to check these things.


nslookup google.com


If that does not come back with a IP address then you have problems with your DNS server. Think about it: I have information you want, and I am sending it to you right now.  

But ... you don't receive it instantly - it takes time to type, then I send it via broadband to New York, which sends it to Toronto, where it reaches CP's servers, which decides to send you an email, so that goes to your email server, and finally your systems check for emails and you get this.  

  

I have vastly more processing power than required to type this - heck, I'm also watching the TV News and talking to Herself while I type. CP's servers have more capacity than needed, your phone, lappie, tablet, or desktop can do many things simultaneously while handling your email.  

  

You can upgrade the processors, memory, and HDD of every single computer in the chain - ***but it will have no significant effect at all on how long it takes you to get a reply!***   

The communications channel and it's limitations have the only significant effect on the time it takes. welcome rm.  the smtp server listed in the post is the correct one.  the is a short time lag between account creation and full activation on the server. please retry the outlook set up again and let us know if it successful. 
 
thank you hi,
thanks that does help tremendously! what you're dealing with is a "wait until ready" timeout condition. in other words test studio timed out waiting for the browser to say "i'm done downloading and rendering all the data for this website". there is a global setting for this which has a default value of just 30 seconds. it is the "client ready timeout" setting as shown in the [last figure on this page](http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/test-execution/quick-execution.aspx) for quick execution. an equivalent setting exists in [the test list settings](http://www.telerik.com/automated-testing-tools/support/documentation/user-guide/test-execution/test-list-settings.aspx) when running your tests as part of a test list..  

  

if you don't want to set it globally (which can make sense to have the timeout much shorter for the remainder of your test) you'll have to resort to performing your navigate step in code... but it's pretty easy. try this:  

  


`int` `oldvalue = manager.settings.clientreadytimeout;`
`manager.settings.clientreadytimeout = 360000;`
`activebrowser.navigateto(``"my website here"``);`
`manager.settings.clientreadytimeout = oldvalue;`




kind regards,
