General Information

Remote Monitoring Software

Server Monitor

Server Monitor is an application installed with Xserve system software that helps you
monitor the following information about the server:
• installed operating system
• drive status and activity
• power supply operation
• enclosure and processor temperature
• blower operation
• security
• network operation

You can also use Server Monitor to get logs of activity and Apple System Profiler reports
on remote servers.

Remote Diagnostics

Xserve Remote Diagnostics performs several tests on the server’s hardware and creates
a test report. Using a remote admin computer, you can run tests on either a working
server or on a server that does not start up normally. You can also modify the tool’s test
files to create custom test sets.
