Brief Description
This article explains the system requirements, installation procedure, and configuration of the RoboMon Web-based Event Monitor.

Full Description
System Requirements RoboMon 7.6B or later. View the ReadMe file in your RoboMon installation directory for system requirements for RoboMon. SQL Server 7.0 (SP2) or later. Server must be set to accept Windows NT authentication. IIS 4.0 or later. Installation Prior to installation, please ensure that the SQL Server service is running. For SQL Server 2000 installations, make sure the service for the instance you wish to install the central collection database on is running. A Windows NT user name (including domain) must be provided for an individual who will be designated as a RoboMon Event Monitor Security Administrator. This individual will be responsible for adding new RoboMon Event Monitor users (including additional security administrators), and modifying security settings for existing RoboMon Event Monitor users. The default selection for this user is the user performing the installation. To initiate the installation, browse to the directory the RoboMon Web Event Monitor setup kit was downloaded and extracted to, or the robomon\Web_Mon directory on the RoboMon CD, and run setup.exe. Due to the complexity of the database, and depending on the processor speed, installed memory, and application load of the server being installed to, it will take several minutes (5 or more) for the database creation process to complete. During this time, a message box indicating that the database is being created will be displayed. Please do not terminate the setup process at this time. Although it may appear that the installation has hung, it most likely is simply requiring time to create the database. Access To access the RoboMon Web Event Monitor after setup has been completed, point your browser to http://[SERVER]/RoboMonEventMonitor/, where [SERVER] is the fully qualified DNS name of the IIS server. Configuration Users will be required to provide a Windows NT login accepted by the IIS server to access the RoboMon Web Event Monitor. Additionally, they will need to be added to the internal security database by a RoboMon Web Event Monitor Security Administrator. The RoboMon Web Event Monitor requires an authenticated login. Anonymous access is not supported. To maximize the potential of the RoboMon Web Event Monitor, you should configure all RoboMon installations within your enterprise to forward events to the server. This can be achieved through the Event Server Configuration tool within the RoboMon Enterprise Manager. To minimize unnecessary network traffic, utilize event filtering to limit forwarding to important events. For more detailed information, after completing the installation, view the online help file at http://[SERVER]/RoboMonEventMonitor/Help.asp, where [SERVER] is the fully qualified DNS name of the IIS server.
