Opening ServerView System Monitor on Linux

You start the ServerView System Monitor in the following way:

  1. Log in to your KDE or GNOME desktop environment.
  2. On your desktop press the key combination [ALT]+[F2] and enter ssm in the command window.
  3. Then press [ENTER].

Alternatively you can also open a normal terminal window:

  1. Type in the command ssm.
  2. Then press [ENTER].

On startup the following dialog box is displayed. This dialog box is not displayed if you installed the ServerView agents for Linux without security. Enter the user name and password for a user on your target server's user database. Password authentication can be configured on the target server in file /etc/srvmagt/config (see readme file in the agents setup package).

If a ServerView user group is specified (in the Agents Configuration), the login user must be member of this group; if no user group is specified, the user must be a member of the bin group . Users that are not member of that group (even if logged in correctly) will be barred!

User Name

User name for logging on to the server.

Password

Password for logging on to the server.

By default, the login data is displayed as defined in the Monitor Options dialog box on the Login tab.

Via the link What kind of login data is expected here?, you can display help information about the login data.
