7.2. Setting up the monitor server

On the monitor server (typically is the same machine of the image server) simply run:

# /etc/init.d/systemimager-server-monitord start
    

This will start the si_monitor daemon. The data sent by the clients will be collected by si_monitor and stored in the XML /var/lib/systemimager/clients.xml. If you cannot execute X applications in your monitor server you can simply periodically look at that file to monitor the installations.

Warning

Never run si_monitor manually! Always use systemimager-server-monitord script!

Then simply run si_monitortk to launch the monitoring GUI.
