Settings
To open the Settings window, click the button on the toolbar or select the main menu item "Service - Settings". Settings are divided into several sections.
Collecting information
WMI connection timeout (in seconds) - length of time, within which the program expects response from the remote computer's WMI service (30 seconds by default).
Background check
This section of the program's settings configures settings for background monitoring, which returns device status (active, inactive) in real-time, preventing you from connecting to offline computers and waiting for long timeouts. Offline computers are marked by grey color in the list of computers.
Since most hosts in modern networks are protected by firewalls, pinging those hosts regularly may not work out (if ICMP protocol is disabled). In such cases, checking by opening a TCP connection to a specific port of the host may help. In this case, we can check the availability of computers by attempting to connect to their TCP port 139 (NetBios).
- Interval (in minutes) - default period of time, in which the program starts querying computers again. The default value is 5 minutes.
- Timeout (in milliseconds) - length of time, within which the program expects response from each computer. The default value is 1000 milliseconds.
- Ping (ICMP) - regular ping check (sending ICMP echo packets).
- Number of packets - if the number of packets is greater than one, if the negative response is received for the first packet, the remaining packets will be still sent to the remote host. This eliminates the possibility of false detection of object status when a single packet is lost.
- TCP port - TCP connection check. Please specify number of TCP port for checking. You can watch protocols in the drop down list.
Inventory
In this section, you can configure computer components for the inventory. These fields are displayed in the "Computer card" window.
