Multiple instances of RMA

Svend · Post by **Svend** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 6:41 pm

I have a client whose system I monitor with HostMon and an RMA on their server. They are impressed and want to get an inhouse copy of Hostmon to do additional monitoring.
Is it possible to run multiple instances of the RMA, each using a different port/password, to allow us to both keep monitoring the systems seperately?

Sure, just copy RMA into another folder and use different TCP port for listening (if you are using Passive RMA).
If you want to start RMA as service (2 services on the same system), you should add ServiceNameSuffix=<UniqueNumber> line into [Basic] section of rma.ini file to change service name used by Passive RMA (use [Active_Basic] section for Active RMA accordingly).

PS I just do not understand why they need agent? If they want to monitor their own LAN only, I think they may use HostMonitor without agents.

Cool, thank's. We'll have a go at that.

P.S. the agent is for a remote site - remote to both of us.
