CSMON - An alternative to the UROUTER Monitor

CSMON is an alternative to the standard URMON urouter monitor which is shipped with Uniface.

The name CSMON (Client/Server Monitor) reflects the fact that we are typically monitoring uservers (and sometimes clients) rather than the urouter itself.

CSMON has roughly the same functionality as URMON, but is easier to use and presents the information better. Some advantages over URMON:

• Automatic (re)connect when an urouter is (re)started
• History of urouters successfully connected to
• Easy switching between urouters
• Automatic and customizable timer function
• Manual refresh button for when timer is stopped
• Color coding of server states (Busy, Idle, Locked, etc)
• At-a-glance display of the most important server and client parameters
• Early warning when servers are going to exit due to /maxreq or /maxidle
• Easy changing of urouter and server parameters
• Easy shutdown of uservers or the urouter itself
• Integrated UTOGGLE function for local uservers

Things CSMON currently does not have, compared to URMON, are:

• The ability to hide dynamic details. This can make CSMON a bit heavier on urouter than URMON (which by default only displays static details), especially with a high timer frequency.
• The ability to select only specific servers or servers serving a specific client.

The monitor and documentation are included in this zipfile: csmon.zip.
