Advanced GFI WebMonitor deployments
The installation and usage of GFI WebMonitor always follows the same paths and procedures. Install GFI WebMonitor, open Internet Explorer and access the configuration and monitoring interface through the following URL: http://monitor.isa. The ISA Server which picks up the request will respond.
In the case of multiple routed ISA Server installations you need to manually edit a file so that the various GFI WebMonitor download windows will not interfere with each other. This is achieved by overwriting the default http://monitor.isa URL with a dedicated real/virtual IP which will clearly identify GFI WebMonitor making the request as well as identify which download window is to process the reply.
Deploying and using GFI WebMonitor on multiple ISA Servers or ISA Server arrays
1. Install GFI WebMonitor on each of the ISA Server computers that you want to monitor.
2. On each GFI WebMonitor deployment use Notepad (or an HTML editor) to open the DownloadingPage.html file located in GFI WebMonitor installation directory. Change the address contained in the following variables to a real/virtual IP address that is routable via the ISA Server on which you are making the change. E.g., http://130.168.0.1:
- "ThisISAServerAddress" variable which is set by default to http://monitor.isa.
- "SecondISAServerAddress" variable containing an IP address which is set by default to http://1.1.1.1. This variable must contain the same value that has been specified for the "ThisISAServerAddress" variable.
NOTE: Assign IP addresses to both of the above mentioned variables in order to avoid configuration problems.
3. After you have completed all the required changes, restart all ISA Servers where GFI WebMonitor is installed (i.e., the ISA Servers where the changes to the DownloadingPage.html have been made).
4. To open GFI WebMonitor interface page of a particular ISA Server, you must call it by the address specified in the relative "ThisISAServerAddress" or "SecondISAServerAddress" variables (e.g., http://130.168.0.1).
