Configuring Monitoring Counters

On the Notification tab page in the Administration category, you can enable, disable, and configure notification counters, which are used to alert the administrator about system events via email. These counter settings apply to all servers in the farm.

Counters for the following events are available:

• CPU utilization on a server is higher than the configured amount.
• Memory utilization on the server is higher than the configured amount.
• Number of sessions connected to a server is higher than the configured amount.
• Number of disconnected sessions is higher than the configured amount.
• RAS Terminal Server Agent has disconnected from or reconnected to the farm.

To configure notifications counters:

1. In the RAS Console, select the Administration category and then click the Notifications tab.
2. Select the desired event(s) and specify a value in the Parameters column (right-click an event and click Edit ).
3. In the Notification Interval field, specify the interval (in minutes) at which the notifications will be emailed to the administrator.

Please note that the the mailbox should be configured in the RAS Console for the outgoing email functionality to work. This mailbox is usually set up when you run the RAS Console for the first time and then use the Start category to set up your first RAS environment. If you omitted this step, you can set up a mailbox here. The mailbox setup procedure is described in the next section.
