Diagnostic Manager 5.0.1 - Installation Guide

Management Console

The Management Console is a centralized, intuitive user interface from which you monitor, review, and analyze your SharePoint deployment, as well as groups of non-SharePoint server and Windows clients.  From the Management Console you can configure  Metalogix Diagnostic Manager and select the SharePoint farms and Server Groups from which you want to collect data as well as the pages to monitor.

You can install the Management Console on multiple machines that share a single Collection Service. Each Administrator can use the console to help manage their portion of monitored farms and Server Groups. Multiple Management Consoles can connect to the same Collection Service at the same time.

 

Collection Service

The Collection Service runs on a computer that you specify and collects data from your SharePoint On-Premises farms and/or Office 365 tenants as well as Server Groups. Your enterprise network can have multiple Collection Services installed, but the Management Console can only contact a single Collection Service at a time.

If the Collection Service encounters errors, it automatically logs them to the Windows Event Logs. You can use the Event Viewer to review the logs when errors occur.

 

TCP/IP Ports Used by the Collection Service

The Management Console uses ports 5292 and 5294 to communicate with the Collection Service. You must allow outbound communications on ports 5292 and 5294 from the computer that hosts a Management Console to the computer that hosts the Collection Service. You must allow inbound communications on ports 5292 and 5294 on the computer that hosts the Collection Service.

If necessary, you can change this port. Contact Quest Support for assistance to change the port.

The Collection Service uses the Windows Management Interface (WMI) to collect information about the servers in monitored SharePoint farms. If you want to collect information about your servers, you must allow communications from the computer that hosts the Collection Service to the servers in monitored SharePoint farms over these ports.

When the Collection Service performs Page Availability, Load Time, or Page Component Analysis tests on monitored pages, it uses whatever port is specified in the URLs you supply. If no port is specified, the default Web Server port is used.

 

Repository Database

The  Metalogix Diagnostic Manager Repository stores the data that the Collection Service collects from your SharePoint deployment. You use the Management Console to review the data and to manage Repository grooming. You specify the Microsoft SQL Server database to host the Repository when you install the Collection Service.
