Connect to Windows Systems

  1. From the Spotlight Browser select All Connections | Spotlight on Windows
  2. Select the Windows system. If the Windows system is not listed then follow the instructions to add a new connection.

     

Add A New Connection

You will need Description
Administrator access

Ensure your login to the Windows machine has Administrator access privileges.

To add a new connection to the Windows machine you are currently using, ensure you are logged in to the machine with Administrator access privileges. If necessary, logout and login again.

Privileges

Spotlight retrieves its data from Windows performance counters and the windows registry of the monitored system. An administrator login to the Windows machine has such access.

Remote connectivity

To add a new connection to a Windows machine other than the one you are currently using, ensure the machine is accessible to the Spotlight client. Spotlight uses NetBIOS traffic to retrieve perfmon and registry information, so any firewalls between the Spotlight on Windows client and the machine being monitored must allow this traffic to pass through.

What Is Spotlight?

Spotlight is a powerful diagnostic and monitoring tool for Unix operating systems. Its unique user interface provides you with an intuitive, visual representation of the activity on your host machine. Graphical flows illustrate the rate at which data is moving between system components. Icons display the value of key statistics and measurements (metrics).

The power of Spotlight lies in its ability to provide visual and audible warnings if the performance metrics exceed acceptable thresholds. The components and dataflows change color to show you the source of the problem.

A range of visual graphs and tabular grids provide you with detailed information about your Unix hosts. This information can be viewed on the screen or printed.

You can set Spotlight to warn you when a threshold is reached. You may set a number of thresholds so that warning messages are displayed well before the traffic levels into or out of a host become critical. Spotlight uses a number of different techniques to warn you when a Unix host is exceeding a threshold.

When Spotlight detects a condition that it considers is a potential problem, it not only informs you about it, but also advises you what you could look at to diagnose the problem further, and suggests corrective actions.
