Configure System Monitor

A configuration tool is available at the end of the installation process by selecting the Configure button.

Note: You can access the Configurator at any time post-installation to complete or modify your configuration by going to the Windows Start menu and selecting Configurator.

In the System Platform Configurator application, there are the following configuration items related to AVEVA System Monitor:

• System Monitor Registration: The System Monitor Registration plug-in allows you to register System Monitor with the AVEVA Identity Manager authentication service, providing secure API communication between the Manager and Agent services.

• System Monitor Manager configuration: The System Monitor Agent Install Manager specifies the name or IP address of the System Monitor Manager. This must be configured on every node on which the System Monitor Agent Install Manager is installed (every node that will be monitored). By default, the System Monitor Manager Name field displays the local machine name. If System Monitor Manager is not installed on the local machine, modify the value of this field to the name of the machine on which the System Monitor Manager is installed. This allows the System Monitor Agent to communicate with the System Monitor Manager.

• Email server configuration: You can configure the name of the email server and accounts that will be used to send and receive alerts from the System Monitor Manager. This is configured on the System Monitor Manager node only, either in the Configurator or in the AVEVA System Monitor browser user interface. The email server sends email alerts generated by AVEVA System Monitor to notify personnel that an issue has been detected and may need to be addressed.

  Note: You must have SQL Server administrator rights to configure the email server.
