The System Monitor 3.0 interface provides remote monitoring, a feature that helps you access multiple clients through a single console for remote device management. The System Monitor immediately recognizes equipment and provides real-time equipment maintenance, which improves system stability and reliability.
Remote Monitoring monitors system status of remote devices. The monitored items include hard disk temperature, hard drive health, network connection, CPU temperature, system voltages, system fan status, and UPS status.
Remote Monitoring also provides support for function logs so that managers can regularly check the status of their remote devices.
The System Monitor sends notification and makes an entry in the event log.
NOTE: When configuring the System Monitor, it is not possible to create a group/device as the virtual keyboard is not accessible from configuration. The workaround consists of plugging in a physical keyboard.

The System Monitor console acts as a server for the clients. Devices that run on the System Monitor console display the health and status information from the System Monitor clients. The console has to be made available by the clients over a network.
Launch the system tray of ServerControl from Windows Start > Programs and right-click to launch ServerControl menu from tray icon:

Remote Manage Devices Any Time, Any Where
System Monitor is a Console-Server-Agent web-based structure for cloud management. Agent here refers to Box iPC devices, and server refers to the server directly in contact with the agent. The server can be a physical entity located in a central control room, or a virtual host set up in a cloud. Console refers to a web-based interface that connects to the server and communicates with the agent through the server. Administrators can perform equipment status and maintenance checks on System Monitor console through an Internet browser at any time, from anywhere, using any connected device. The server-agent connection fit the MQTT communication protocol. This improves connection security and stability, and also decreases development time for System Monitor integration. The console-server-agent web-based structure not only lowers the difficulty of setting up System Monitor network environments when provisioning, but also provides a distributed connectivity structure that solves the challenges encountered with large-scale or multi-site device management. System Monitor is a real-time management platform that breaks geographical limitations. Administrators can manage all of their devices by simply using their PCs, smartphones, and tablets.
NOTE: MQTT (formerly message queue telemetry transport) is a publish-subscribe based messaging protocol for use on top of the TCP/IP protocol.

PostgreSQL is an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS). As a database server, its function is to store data and retrieve it later, as requested by other software applications running on another computer across a network and the Internet. It can handle workloads ranging large internet-facing applications with many concurrent users. PostgreSQL provides replication of the database itself for availability and scalability.

Click Exit to terminate server management console from tray icon and all System Monitor services that are still running in the background. You can restart console from Windows/Programs menu:
Select the action from drop-down menu of each device/group list item to power off, reboot and hibernate device.
Seamless HW/SW Monitoring for Complete Protection
In order to ensure device stability, System Monitor actively monitors device temperatures, voltages, and the states of hard disks and other hardware. In addition to hardware monitoring functions, System Monitor has a software monitoring function to oversee program status. Active alerts are sent out if any abnormalities are observed, and System Monitor can execute related actions according to user settings, like stopping or restarting processes, which further ensure normal device operation. System Monitor provides a comprehensive, seamless, device monitor and control system that includes both hardware and software.
The System Monitor features a remote KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) and allow remote diagnosis and recovery in any situation. The time saving on trouble shooting with real-time remote monitoring and proactive alarm notifications ensure continued system health.
User-Friendly Map-View Interface
Taking advantage of web-based features, System Monitor provides map-view interface and leverages Google and Baidu maps to help administrators locate and manage their devices more easily. In addition to the maps, System Monitor also provides for building diagrams to help pinpoint device locations in offices, factories, or wherever. System Monitor provides a user-friendly interface in an overall easy-to-use environment.
NOTE: Baidu maps is a Chinese online mapping service.
