How to use the IPCheck Mobile GUI

We integrated the functionallity of IPCheck Server Monitor into PRTG. The successor of IPCheck is PRTG Network Monitor. Customers with an active maintenance plan can download the new installer in our updates center.

After installation please find the IPCheck Mobile GUI in your programs folder on your mobile device and start the application. You will see the dialog shown on the right. Please choose between HTTP and HTTPS, enter your servername, port, login email address and password. Finally click on Connect to get started.

Using the IPCheck Mobile GUI you can access the status of your sensors from most PocketPC devices on the go. This small software for PocketWindows connects to your IPCheck server via the HTTP protocol, downloads the latest data of your groups, sensors and notifications and shows the data in a treelist.

Features

  • Mobile access to the status of your sensors
  • Connects to your IPCheck Server via GPRS, GSM, WLAN or through your PCs internet connection
  • Supports HTTP and HTTPS
  • For each sensor the status, last message, last request time and the interval is shown
  • A list of the most recent notifications is shown
  • Sensorlist can contain Up, Down and/or Paused sensors
Your PDA will now connect to the Internet and after a few seconds you should see the list of your servers and sensors. You can use the "+" and "-" symbols to fold/unfold the server/sensor list. Click a sensor once to show additional information about the status of the sensor.
If you click on a sensor for 2 seconds a popup menu will be shown and you can choose "Show Chart" to see a chart of the most recent activity.
In the "View" menu you can find various options to change the way the list of sensors is shown.
