When the operating system on the host hardware is started the Guardian Service runs and will ensure that the Congrego® Server is started and is running.
To see the status of the Congrego® Server you can right-click on the Congrego® tray icon and open the Service Manager application:
 Tray Icon and Menu |
The menu items are as follows:
Open
This will open the default web browser on the host system and display the Congrego home screen.
Service Manager
The Service Manager lets a user observe the status of, and manually control, the Guardian Service (watchdog) and the Application Service (Congrego® Server).
Whenever power is restored to the host machine, the Guardian Service will check to ensure the server is running. Both of these services can be turned off and on manually from the Service Manager Status tab.
The Service Manager Settings tab allows users to alter the web port and the telnet port numbers used by Congrego® and external services.
There are also two check boxes to allow local user access and guest user access if required.
These settings should be left as default unless there are port number conflicts with other programs.
Selecting the Restore option will open a dialogue box that allows users to load a previously saved server configuration, as well as the options to load saved data and drivers.
This feature also allows users to load an automatically saved server backups or a pre-configured server configuration from another logger all-together; including instruments settings, channels data and drivers. i.e. a complete backup of a logger.
Select the source location for the saved configuration/data/driver files and choose which options to load.
Note that if choosing to load saved data, the user can choose to limit the data files to a certain number of days’ worth of data.
The comments section will show any comments associated with the backup files selected.
Comments can be associated with the backup file at the time of saving.
