Web Server: general requirements

In choosing a suitable Web Server for a production installation of SQL Monitor, consider the following requirements:

High-speed connection to its Base Monitor if it's on a different machine, over secure RPC, to collect the monitoring data, authenticate users and other tasks. 

  • Slow communication with a Base Monitor will be a limiting factor in the overall performance of the monitoring system.  SeeHardware and performance guidelines for more details.
  • If the Base Monitor machine is in a different domain, you will need to ensure port 7399 is open in the firewall.
  • It is important to get a robust hardware and software installation because you will not be able to log in to the web front-end if its associated Base Monitor cannot be reached. 

Accessibility by any PC or device from which you want to view the SQL Monitor Web interface

  • The web interface uses JavaScript, so make sure JavaScript is enabled in your web browser. 

The default SQL Monitor Web Server or IIS Web Server (IIS 7.0 or later).

Other hardware and software requirements:

  • Should always be switched on.
  • Uses about 500MB of space.
  • Must be running currently supported versions of Windows. See Supported platforms for details.
