monitoring PC Health.
Managing Workstations
Client Manager sets up a connection to all the workstations running on the
network to allow the administrator to monitor the functions of each workstation.
The monitoring is in real time so that if an unhealthy workstation is fixed, you
can refresh the screen to view the new correct PC health. You can also set the
monitor to report only unhealthy workstations.
Selecting the PC Health Meter
The PC Health meter is a traffic signal that provides a visual indicator of
workstation health.
!
A red light indicates that a critical system event has occurred. You are
required to fix the problem immediately.
!
A yellow light or noncritical system event requires that you monitor the
situation. It may be a problem that could get worse and become a critical
event.
!
A green light indicates that the system is working fine.
