Data collection stops when user is not signed in
2 posts · Closed
I have 2 servers running Windows Server 2008 with more or less identical configuration, used as IIS Webservers in a small farm.
Both have NetWorx installed, licensed 2018-12-03 as SoftPerfect NetWorx - Business - Up to 5 Devices - 1 item(s).
Only one of the servers collects data as before the license key was entered. The other one collects data if a user is signed in. If not, nothing happens.
What is the problem?
Thanks,
Michael
That's basically how NetWorx was designed. It runs as a regular application when a user logs on. Otherwise it does not run, i.e. it is not a service.
If you are looking for monitoring server bandwidth, a different product called Bandwidth Manager may be more suitable. It runs as a service, allows you to define a variety of monitoring rules, and if necessary configure bandwidth caps and quotas.
It is worth noting though that this product can handle about 500 Mbps at most.
