Monitoring Servers and Services

To monitor SkylineGlobe servers and services:

1. From the SkylineGlobe Server menu, select Main. The Main page is displayed.

2. The following information is available:

Field	Description
General Use the time filter above the graph to display active groups for the time period required (Past 10 Minutes or Past Hour).
Max Active Sessions (Server)	Maximum number of clients that can stream data from SkylineGlobe Server simultaneously. Any client that attempts to connect to SkylineGlobe Server once the maximum number has been reached will be denied access. When working with a server cluster, this value is the total number of users accessing any of the servers in the cluster, with the load balancer determining how to distribute the users between the servers. While all SkylineGlobe Servers can support a very large number of concurrent users, there is an upper limit that is defined in each SGS license. If you want to increase your maximum active sessions, you can upgrade your SGS by contacting Skyline at [email protected].
Current Active Sessions (Server)	The number of clients currently streaming information from any of the SGS sites.
Current Active Sessions (This Site)	The number of clients currently streaming information from this SGS site.
Up Time	A continuous measure of the time that SGS is up and running.
Last Message	Last message issued by SGS. Click View All Messages to open the Messages page to view and search all messages. See "Searching and Viewing Messages" in this chapter for more information.
DirectConnect Status	Click TB Fusers Status to view information about the DirectConnect – TerraBuilder fusers' performance and error messages. Note: When working with a server cluster, information is only displayed for the server that you are currently connected to.
