2.4 Starting the Experience Manager Monitor

It is necessary to start the Experience Manager Monitor before trying to connect to it from the Operations Center server.

A connection to the Operations Center server is unnecessary for the Experience Manager Monitor to run and collect data, assuming the Monitor has some saved tests. The Monitor can run and collect data even if the Operations Center server is down. When the Operations Center server does start, all data uploads to the server from the Experience Manager Monitor.

To start a Experience Manager Monitor:

  1. Verify that the Operations Center server to which the monitor points is up and running.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • On Windows: Do one of the following:

      1. Start as an application: From the desktop on the machine on which the monitor software is installed, click Start > Programs > NetIQ Operations Center > Experience Manager > Start Experience Manager.

      2. Start as a Windows service: Start the monitor through the Windows Services dialog box.

    • On Unix: From the /OperationsCenter_ExperienceManager_install_path/bin directory, run Start_Daemon & and then run Start_Monitor &.

    The Monitor starts.
