InetSoft Reporting Software - Remote Report Monitoring

Style Intelligence enables users to remotely monitor reporting by providing a flexible solution with adept capabilities that is simple configure. View the information below to learn more about this powerful reporting solution from InetSoft.

Because Style Intelligence monitoring features are based on Java's managed bean (MBean) technology, you can access monitoring information from a remote computer. To configure remote access, open the 'MBean' page under 'Server' node.

This page allows you to configure several methods for accessing the monitoring data. The following sections provide additional information.The HTML adaptor enables you to view the MBean monitoring information using a web browser on a remote machine. To enable remote HTML monitoring, follow the steps below:

  1. Configure the MBean server:
    a. On the 'MBean Server' page in Enterprise Manager, select 'Enable HTML Adaptor'.
    b. Enter a username and password for the connection (default: admin/admin).
    c. Enter an arbitrary port number that is not already in use (default:8082).
  2. On the remote machine, open a browser and enter the URL shown on the 'MBean Server' page: http://{hostname}:port.
  3. When prompted, enter the previously specified credentials.

This will provide access to the monitoring properties provided by the MBean.

The HTTP adaptor enables you to view the MBean monitoring information from a remote client that supports the HTTP protocol. To enable remote HTTP monitoring, configure the MBean server as follows:

  1. On the 'MBean Server' page in Enterprise Manager, select 'Enable HTTP Connector Server'.
  2. Enter a username and password for the connection (default: admin/admin).
  3. Enter an arbitrary port number that is not already in use (default:8081).

The RMI connector server enables you to view the MBean monitoring information using a Java application on a remote machine. As an illustration, the instructions below explain how to access the MBean using JConsole on a remote computer. For example, to access the MBean using JConsole on a remote machine, follow these steps:

  1. Configure the MBean server:
    a. On the 'MBean Server' page in Enterprise Manager, select 'Enable RMI Connector Server'.
    b. Enter a username and password for the connection (default: admin/admin).
    c. Enter an arbitrary port number that is not already in use (default:9898).
  2. On the remote machine, start JConsole: Navigate to the %JAVA_HOME%/bin/jconsole directory, and type “jconsole”. This opens the JConsole connection dialog box.
  3. In the JConsole connection dialog box, select the 'Remote Process' option.
  4. In the large text field, enter the following connection string, where {hostname} is the server name and {port} is the specified RMI port (default: 9898).
    service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://{hostname}:{port}/monitor
  5. Enter the previously specified credentials for 'Username' and 'Pass­word'.
  6. Click 'Connect'. This opens the JConsole application.
  7. Select the MBeans tab, and expand the 'inetsoft' node. This provides access to the Style Intelligence monitoring MBean.

The SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) adaptor enables you to view the MBean monitoring information from a remote client that supports the SNMP protocol. To enable remote SNMP monitoring, configure the MBean server as follows:

  1. On the 'MBean Server' page in Enterprise Manager, select 'Enable SNMP Adaptor Server'.
  2. Enter a username and password for the connection (default: admin/admin).
  3. Enter an arbitrary port number that is not already in use (default:8085).
