Server Connectivity

When iWay Sentinel is accessed through SPOG, the first screen that you are presented with is the Connectivity - At a Glance screen. This view provides an overall status of the connectivity to the registered servers. The connectivity status is presented, as listed and described in the following table.

Connectivity Status

Description

Down

Indicates that Sentinel believes the physical machine is not reachable. This is determined by trying to ping the machine on certain common port ranges to try and establish its connectivity on the network.

Missing

Indicates that Sentinel was able to establish a connection to the machine by being able to ping it on one of the common ports. However, the configured iSM port is not reachable indicating that the iSM server is either not running or not installed on the machine.

Limited

Indicates that Sentinel was able to establish the connection to the iSM server running on the machine, but is not able to connect to the Envoy listener for further communication. This is usually indicative of Envoy not being installed, configured or running on the iSM server.

Available

iSM server is available for communication.

Servers

The following image shows the dashboard presented with the states of connectivity.

You can hover over each bubble to see the description of the connectivity status. The status of the connectivity is also shown under the Status column in the list of servers.

Clicking the status icon for any given server, will take you directly into the iSM Administration Console for the specific server, using the credentials that were provided during server registration process.
