System Monitor tab (explained)

Use the <, >, and home icons to navigate the System Monitor.

System Monitor provides a visual overview of the current state of your system's servers and cameras through colored tiles that represent the system hardware. By default, XProtect Smart Client can display tiles that represent Recording servers, All servers and All cameras. Your system administrator specifies the tiles you see in XProtect Smart Client, and the values for each state.

The following table describes what the tile colors indicate.

Color

Description

Green

Normal state. Everything is running normally.

Yellow

Warning state. At least one monitoring parameter is above the defined value for the Normal state.

Red

Critical state. At least one monitoring parameter is above the defined value for the Normal and Warning state.

If a tile changes color and you want to identify the server or parameter that caused the change, click the tile. This opens an overview in the bottom of the screen which shows the colors red, yellow or green for each monitoring parameter you have enabled for your tile. Click the Details button for information about why the state changed.

If a tile displays a warning sign, a data collector for one of your monitored servers or cameras may not be running. If you place your mouse above the tile, the system shows you when it last collected data for the relevant tile.
