Disk Pulse DB Server 2.8.14

The DiskPulse DB server runs in the background as a service and uses an SQL database to store disk change monitoring reports received from production servers. The user is provided with a client GUI application, which connects to the DiskPulse DB server through the network and allows one to review received reports, configure report analysis rules and manage the report database.

In order to define one or more analysis rules, press the 'Rules' button located on the main tool bar in the DiskPulse DB client GUI application. On the 'Analysis Rules' dialog, press the 'Add' button, specify the rule description, select the type of the action to perform and enter an E-Mail address to send tifications to.

Optionally, select the 'Rules' tab and add one or more file matching rules specifying file types the rule should be applied to. Finally, the 'Advanced' tab allows one to control the following advanced options: hosts the rule should be applied to (all or a specific host), report titles the rule should be applied to and change types the rule should be applied to (all or a specific change type).

The specified report analysis rules are applied to incoming disk change monitoring reports in the same order as specified in the 'Rules' dialog. In order to change the order of a rule, select the rule and press the 'Up' or 'Down' buttons.

The simplest way to submit a disk change monitoring report to the DiskPulse DB Server is to use the regular DiskPulse GUI application, which is available in DiskPulse, DiskPulse Pro and DiskPulse Ultimate installations. In order to submit a report, start the DiskPulse GUI application and select the 'File - Submit to DiskPulse DB Server' menu item.

On the 'Submit' dialog specify the host name or the IP address of the DiskPulse DB server and press the 'Ok' button. By default, the DiskPulse DB server uses the TCP/IP port 9122 to receive reports from production servers, but the port number may be changed to any custom port number according to user-specific needs. In order to specify a user-custom port number when submitting reports to the DiskPulse DB server use the format: hostname:port

Manual submission of disk change monitoring reports to the DiskPulse DB server is good for testing purposes, but if you need to automatically collect disk change monitoring reports from a number of production servers to a central DiskPulse database server, you need to configure automatic report submission actions.

In order to configure DiskPulse servers (running on production servers) to automatically submit disk change monitoring reports to the DiskPulse database server, open the disk change monitoring command (on each production server), select the 'Advanced' tab, enable execution of automatic disk monitoring actions, select the 'Send To DiskPulse DB Server' action, specify the number of changes to trigger the action and enter the host name or the IP address of the DiskPulse DB server to send reports to.
