RedČAlert
RedČAlert’s Administration and Configuration facilities have been designed with clarity and ease of use in mind. System administrators can add or remove RedČAlert users, add, change or delete monitored nodes or hosts, change the Network and Agent checks applied to a node and report on all alerts within this section of the application.

RedČAlert Security

Adding, changing or deleting users is a simple task requiring username, password, email address and access rights. The level of access in RedČAlert is governed by the concept of user role, providing or prohibiting access to each tab. A ‘Management User’ for example would typically have access to the Home page, Network screen and Performance Analyser, but would not be able to see the Alerts or Admin pages.

Adding, Changing and Deleting Monitored Hosts

Within the Admin tab, all node monitoring is governed by the Host option. This allows the user to enter details of the device to be monitored, including host name or IP address and device type (client, server, switch, router, printer etc.). IP service /network checks can then be configured from an expandable base list of services (FTP, HTTP, HTTPS, SMTP, SNMP, SSG, Telnet). The acquisition of performance statistics and base list (e.g. CPU, memory, disk) is also configurable; this is extensible to the full list supported by the device itself. The Agent Checks tab governs all specific checks to be run, any parameters and execution schedules.
