Hardware Monitor Remote
Function principle
Hardware Monitor Remote runs a monitoring and data acquisition service on a Macintosh computer. After installing the application, the computer can be monitored remotely via the network by any application of our monitoring suite (Hardware Monitor, Hardware Monitor Lite, Temperature Monitor, Temperature Monitor Lite). The following picture shows the basic setup:
Features
- Start and stop the remote monitoring service by an easily usable control window.
- The monitoring service is perfectly integrated into Mac OS X and runs in the background. No user has to be logged in.
- A TCP network connection will be created on a configurable port number.
- Specify in what time intervals SMART temperature sensors should be accessed, in order not to disturb sleep mode of hard drives.
- Import definitions of artifical operating system sensors from Hardware Monitor to allow remote monitoring of these probes, too.
- Let the service record history data and automatically save it in periodic time intervals.
- Control external LCD display units to monitor "headless" systems that don't have a display screen connected. No user has to be logged in. (Note: for architectural reasons, Logitech LCD products cannot be supported by this feature).
- Let the monitoring service launch automatically during startup of the operating system if desired.
