Host Server Advanced tab

MonitorD traffic options include:

  • Use Default Settings

    System clients can receive MonitorD traffic directly or through the host server. In the [firewall] section ofserver.ini, monitord_server_use is not defined.

    • When Use Default Settings is selected, Host Server Routes Traffic and MonitorD Message Buffer Size are disabled.
    • When Use Default Settings is selected with no security, clients receive MonitorD traffic directly.
    • When Use Default Settings is selected with basic or advanced security, clients receive MonitorD traffic through the host server. That is, the host server routes MonitorD traffic.
  • Override Default Settings

    How MonitorD traffic is routed depends on if How Server Routes Traffic is selected.

    In the [firewall] section of server.ini, monitord_server_use=true/false with monitord_server_buffer_size=xxxx, where xxxx is an integer. The default is 2000.

  • Host Server Routes Traffic

    This option is disabled by default. Select this to receive traffic through the host server. The advantages of receiving traffic through the host server are:

    • A host server can be configured to use two specified TCP/IP ports.
    • Host server traffic is secure for basic and advanced security.

    As clients can receive MonitorD traffic directly or through the host server:

    • Clients receive MonitorD traffic directory if Host Server Routes Traffic is cleared, even if the host server is running with basic or advanced security.
      The server.ini settings are:
      [firewall]
      monitord_server_buffer_size=2000
      monitord_server_use=false  

      On the GUI, Host Server Routes Traffic and MonitorD Message Buffer Size are set to their default values.

    • Clients receive MonitorD traffic through the host server, where the host server routes MonitorD traffic, if Host Server Routes Traffic is selected. This also applies if the host server is running with no security.
      The server.ini settings are:
      [firewall]
      monitord_server_buffer_size=2000
      monitord_server_use=true
  • MonitorD Message Buffer Size

    This indicates the maximum amount of MonitorD messages that a host server can store in its internal buffers. If this maximum is exceeded, then the host server assumes the client connection has been lost.

    This option is available only when Override Default Settings is selected. The default is 2000.
