Monitoring Services and Daemons

Using the Management Console, you can monitor the status of all Scalix system daemons and services. After using console to customize event logging levels on a per-service basis, you can view varying increments of system activity.

To monitor services and daemons:

1. In the toolbar, click the Server Info button.
2. In the contents pane, review the Key Services branch, including the Other Services sub-branch.
3. Select the service you want to monitor.
4. When the server's options appear in the display pane to the right, select the General tab (visible by default). It provides a logging level menu to help you focus your sampling.
5. Open the Logging Level menu and choose the type of activity you want to monitor.
6. Click the now-active Save Changes button at the bottom of the tab.
7. Click the Event Log tab to view its contents.
8. Use the Service Event Log options (menus) to customize your log settings.
   • Open the Display Level menu and choose the type of activity you want to monitor.
   • Adjust the Number of Lines you want to review.
   • Open the Date/Time menus to focus on the interval you want to review.
9. You can permanently store these log settings for later reuse by clicking Save Changes at the bottom of this tab.
10. Click the Get Log button. The Management Console polls Scalix and displays the requested data (if any) in the area below the Service Event Log options.
11. If desired, refine your settings and re-poll the server.
