2.7.1 Prepare for Using Status Window

This section describes how to set aggregation conditions.

Only the system administrator can set aggregation conditions.

When modifying the aggregation conditions in use, the modified condition will be updated at next aggregation. Therefore, the number of PC number of sets detected according to the old conditions and detailed graph will be displayed in the window before the next aggregation.

In a 3-level system structure, to know the overall system state, please set aggregation conditions in the Master Management Server. To know the state of the subordinate Management Server, please set aggregation conditions in each Management Server.


  1. Start Web Console with any of the following methods.

    In a 2-level system structure, please connect to the Management Server.

    • Select [All Programs]-[Systemwalker Desktop Keeper]-[Server]-[Desktop Keeper Main Menu] from the [Start] menu on Management Server.

    • Specify “http://host name of Management Server or IP address/DTK/index.html” in the address bar of browser.
      When the port number of IIS is modified, specify as follows.
      http://IP address: port number/DTK/index.html

    In a 3-level system structure, please connect to (Master) Management Server respectively.

    • Select [All Programs]-[Systemwalker Desktop Keeper]-[Server]-[Desktop Keeper Main Menu]] from the [Start] menu on (Master) Management Server.

    • Specify “http://host name of (Master) Management Server or IP address/DTK/index.html” in the address bar of browser.
      When the port number of IIS is modified, specify as follows.
      http://IP address: port number/DTK/index.html


    → The [Login] window is displayed.

  2. Enter the following information and click the [Login] button.

    • [User ID]: The [User ID] set in the [Administrator Information Settings] window of Server Settings Tool.

    • [Password]: The [Password] set in the [Administrator Information Settings] window of Server Settings Tool.
      It is recommended to Modify password regularly. For how to Modify password, please refer to “Change password”.

    → The status window is displayed.

  3. Click [Log Management] of Global Navigation.
    →Log Viewer is started and the [CT Operation Log] window is displayed.

  4. Click [Environment Setup] of Global Navigation.
    → The [Options] window is displayed.

  5. Enter the following information and click the [Apply] button.

    About the processing time required for aggregation
    The processing time required for aggregation is affected by the following factors:

    • Hardware specification (CPU, memory, disk performance, etc.)

    • Operating environment (network status, operation conditions of other applications, etc.)

    • Number of Management Servers (Master Management Server in a 3-level structure)

    • Aggregation conditions (number of audited items and auditing period (*))

    • CT number of sets

    • Amount of logs saved in the database

    Even if the above operating environments are the same, the aggregation result will still be affected by the following factors, which will result in a different processing time:

    • CT number of sets satisfying the aggregation conditions (*)

    • Number of logs satisfying the aggregation conditions (*)

    Items marked by (*) are the main reasons and have significant influence.

    The following is an example of processing time. (As a reference value, it is greatly affected by hardware and data.)
    In fact, the processing time affected by environment and data conditions is from several minutes to hours.
    When both of the hardware are CPU:Core2Duo 2.4GHz with 3GB memory.

    • Number of CTs is 100 (all meeting the aggregation conditions), number of logs is 630,000 (among which 210,000 satisfies the aggregation conditions), the auditing period is 31 days, and the processing time is about 150 seconds.

    • Number of CTs is 500 (all meeting the aggregation conditions), number of logs is 630,000 (among which 210,000 satisfies the aggregation conditions), the auditing period is 31 days, and the processing time is about 430 seconds.

      Item Name

      Description

      [Aggregation Schedule]

      Set the time to start aggregation.

      • Hour: Select by hour within the range of 0-23

      • Minute: Select by minute within the range of 0-59

      Initial value: 1 hour 0 minute

      Note

      Please take the following points into consideration in the settings of an aggregation schedule:

      • The aggregation process will cause a heavy load. Please perform in the time frame with lower business load (at midnight, etc.).

      • Please do not modify configuration information and environment setup during aggregation. The aggregation result may be displayed incorrectly.

      • Level Control Service must be started during the aggregation process. Please do not overlap with the operation of stopping Level Control Service (backup, restoration, data transmission, etc.).

      [Proportion of Graph Color(%)]

      Set and modify the threshold value of histogram colors in the status window.
      Select and modify the proportion of yellow and red through the button. Modify it by 10%.
      Initial value: the threshold value of the yellow histogram is within 20%
      the threshold value of the red histogram is above 80%

      E-mail notification will be sent to the department administrator of the group to which the error PC belongs (when no department administrator is set in the group, notification will be sent to department administrator of the upper level group).

      E-mail is not sent in following cases:

      • When there is no department administrator in the upper level group

      • When the recipient address of the department administrator is not set though department administrator has been set
