MonitorMagic Web Interface
Configure MonitorMagic WebService: Proxy MonitorMagic service
If you are running multiple MonitorMagic services, you can use a single MonitorMagic service to
provide WebService capabilities for all MonitorMagic services. In this case the MonitorMagic
WebService is a proxy service for the other MonitorMagic services not running the MonitorMagic
WebService.
Example: You have installed and configured the MonitorMagic service and WebService on
computer SUMMER. The firewall is configured to allow HTTPS communications on port 449 with
the static IP address of the SUMMER server. So from the outside world, SUMMER is accessible
and able to communicate over port 449 using HTTPS. Next, you have another server, AUTUMN.
This computer is running the MonitorMagic service, but you do not want to enable MonitorMagic
WebService on this machine. In order now to use the MonitorMagic WebInterface to access the
monitors of the MonitorMagic service on AUTUMN you configure SUMMER to be a MonitorMagic
proxy server for computer AUTUMN.
To configure the proxy settings, right click the computer that runs the MonitorMagic service and
WebService. Select menu option Configure WebService and select tab Proxy. You will be
presented the following window:
Use the Add and Delete buttons to add and remove computers. These computer must run the
MonitorMagic service but do not need to have the WebService enabled. Instead, this
MonitorMagic WebService will serve requests from browsers for the listed computer.
In the example shown below, two computers are running the MonitorMagic service: SUMMER
and AUTUMN. For computer SUMMER, the MonitorMagic WebService is enabled. SUMMER is
the proxy server for server AUTUMN. In a browser, connecting to SUMMER, you can see and
manage the monitors of server AUTUMN.
