The status page of TightGate-Pro

TightGate-Pro has an internal status page that can be called up via the browser of a logged-in VNC user. It provides basic information about the running system and the most important system services without the need to call up the administration menus. The system statuses are signalled by displaying values and an eye-catching red/green marking.

The status page can be called up in the browser using http://localhost in the browser.

Access to the status page is usually provided with access protection. The access data is as follows:

User name: status
Password: As per password slip or Password set by the administration

If no password is assigned, the status page can be viewed by any logged-in VNC user via the browser!

The status page also provides information about the correct functioning of the server-side virus scanner, if one is installed. In this case, the update time of the malware definition files (virus signatures) is also displayed. If the signatures are older than three days, the status display changes to red. In this case, there could be a configuration error or the update server in question is not available.

No changes can be made to the displayed parameters on the status page. The values are only used to provide information on basic operating statuses. The administration menus and the various administration roles are used to administer the system. For detailed monitoring of the system operation, a Monitoring is recommended, especially as numerous system-specific sensors and checkpoints are available for TightGate-Pro in addition to the regular Nagios system monitoring functions.
