Monitoring the Other Side of a Firewall or in a DMZ - Installing
Service Agents Using Setup
ELM is firewall friendly. Service Agents communicate with
ELM Servers using a single TCP socket that is customizable. Because ELM listens
on only one port by default, security implications of FTP or RPC communications
through the firewall are eliminated.
You can configure the Service Agent and the ELM Server to
listen on any available TCP port for communications. In addition, each Service
Agent can use different ports, enabling you to customize ELM's socket usage to
suit your needs.
If you want to monitor a server on the other side of a
firewall, in a DMZ environment, or located in an environment that restricts the
use of NetBIOS and RPC endpoint ports, you can use the Setup package to install
an Agent on the remote system and then use the Agent UI to register the Agent
with the ELM Server and select monitor items for the Agent. You'll want to pay
particular attention to step 6 since the TCP ports chosen on your firewall must
be open in the appropriate direction.
-
Copy the ELM Setup package to the target computer, and execute the file to
begin the install. The Installation Welcome screen will appear.
-
Click Next to continue. The License Agreement screen will appear. Read the
license agreement and indicate your acceptance of its terms by selecting "I
accept the license agreement".
-
Click Next to continue. The ReadMe Information screen will appear. Read the
contents of the ReadMe file.
-
Click Next to continue. The Select Product to Install screen will appear.
Select the product for which you are licensed.
-
Click Next to continue. The Select Features screen will appear:
-
Click Server and choose "Entire feature will be unavailable".
-
Click Console and choose "Entire feature will be unavailable".
-
Click Agent and choose "Will be installed on local hard drive".
-
Click Next to continue, and then Install to initiate installation. The Agent
executable and support files will be installed.
-
When the installation has completed, the Register Server Wizard will launch.
-
In the Name field, enter the host name, IP address or fully-qualified domain
name for the ELM Server you want to register. If desired, click the Browse
button to browse the network for the ELM Server you want to register.
-
In the Port field for the ELM Server, enter the TCP port on which the ELM
Server should listen. By default, ELM Servers listen on TCP Port 1251
-
In the Port field for the Service Agent, enter the TCP port on which the
Service Agent should listen. By default, ELM Service Agents listen on TCP port
1253.
Note: The name field may already be filled in with an Agent name that
contains :EEM. The EEM is a visual cue that indicates the product you are
running. Users of other ELM solutions will also see the EEM designation and
will need to change to the appropriate descriptor (i.e., ELM, EPM or EVM).
-
Click Next to continue. The Select Monitors dialog box will appear. Put a check
in the box to the left of each Monitor Item you want to assign to this Agent.
You can view the properties of any Monitor Item by right-clicking the item and
selecting Properties.
-
Click Finish to save the Agent settings and ELM Server registration.
To Uninstall a Service Agent That Was Installed Using Setup:
-
Open the Control Panel and double-click Add/Remove Programs.
-
Select the product you have installed, one of:
-
ELM Enterprise Manager
-
ELM Log Manager
-
ELM Performance Manager
-
ELM Event Log Monitor
-
Click the Change button.
-
If the Service Agent is the only ELM component installed on this system, or if
there are other ELM components (e.g., ELM Server or ELM Console) and you want
to uninstall everything, select Remove and proceed through the Wizard. If there
are other ELM components installed on this system and you do not want to remove
them, select Modify and continue through the Wizard. When the component dialog
is shown, change the Service Agent from "Will be installed on local hard drive"
to "Entire feature will be unavailable". Then, complete the Wizard to remove
it.

Though George Clooney started work in show business at age 5 on his father's TV
talk show, The Nick Clooney Show, he left and didn't return to acting until age
21. This was only after he was unable to land a Cincinnati Reds center-fielder
position.

August 8th in History
1588 - The Spanish Armada, numbering 130 massive ships, were defeated by
the English sailors with their smaller, easily maneuvered ships (about 60).
Also contributing to the Spanish defeat was a series of Atlantic storms off the
coast of Southern England. Only half of the 130 Spanish ships crawled back to
Spain.
1786 - The first ascent of Mont Blanc was completed by Dr.
Michel-Gabriel Paccard and his porter, Jacques Balmat.
1815 - Napoleon Bonaparte set sail for St. Helena to spend the remainder
of his days in exile.
1876 - Thomas A. Edison from Menlo Park, New Jersey, patented the
mimeograph machine as a method to prepare autographic stencils for printing.
Mimeograph machines were cranked by hand, but later models were electric. The
machine worked by creating a spirit master which would be placed on a large
rotating drum before a smelly purple ink print out on the paper.
1899 - The refrigerator was patented by A.T. Marshall of Brockton,
Massachusetts. It would be several more years before refrigerators became
common in households.
1931 - Jack Dempsey, the former heavyweight boxing champion, signed a
contract to make a six-bout tour of the northwestern United States. As his fee,
Dempsey was to be paid either $35,000 or 50 percent of the gross receipts,
whichever was higher.
1963 - A group of 15 thieves stole seven million dollars in Britain’s
Great Train Robbery. Scotland Yard called the theft, "Britain’s biggest robbery
ever attempted." Fingerprints identified all but three of the gang. One of the
convicted escaped, and was never again caught.
1984 - At the Olympic Games in Los Angeles, California, Carl Lewis won
his third gold medal when he won the 200-meter sprint. At exactly the same
moment, Greg Louganis was receiving his first gold medal in diving for the
springboard competition.
