Each device or service being monitored sends status messages or traps to the management console. These traps are coded with status information and are displayed as green for OK, amber for warnings and red for alerts and error conditions. The RedČAlert console runs on a Linux server attached to the monitored network. Software components that run on the server include:
- Red Squared Agent Manager
- DB2
- Tomcat
- Apache Web Server
- User Interface
All management functions and services are accessed via a web browser. (N.B. A Java Runtime Engine must be installed on the PC to view the RedČAlert console)

User Interface

The RedČAlert home page provides a real-time view of the current status
of all systems and outstanding alerts, enabling easy navigation to specific
areas for further information. The home page itself represents a dashboard
overview of all servers and devices being monitored, displaying the current
status of all service and agent checks, the number of outstanding alerts and
current system notices.
The interface has been designed and tested to be easily navigable, quick to
understand and intuitive, without the need for large training investment.
The look and feel, usability and day-to-day utility is tested and proven within
the Red Squared Support Centre; all changes and major updates are tested
in-house before being released.
