RAID Monitor Application
RAID Monitor provides a user interface to configure and enable/disable the

in the Startup program group. The
RAID Monitor Application is configured using the RAID

RAID Monitor Service
The RAID Monitor Service is a Win32 service which monitors the status of
RAID volumes. The
RAID Monitor Service runs in the background and has no interface.
Configuring the RAID Monitor
When the
RAID Monitor application is loaded, it creates an icon in the system tray. When users
click the right mouse button on the icon, a configuration menu appears. The configuration menu is
described below.
Configuration Menu
The following are the components of the configuration menu.
• Properties. Displays the RAID Monitor Application Configuration Dialog (see Figure 4-2).
• Enable/disable the RAID Monitor Service. When disabled, RAID Monitor Service does not
send events to a local monitor.
• Exit the RAID Monitor Application.
RAID Monitor Application Configuration Dialog
Use the RAID Monitor Application Configuration Dialog to configure the RAID Monitor. See
Figure 4-2.
Note: The RAID Monitor Application Configuration Dialog can be invoked by double clicking on the
system tray icon.
The components of the RAID Monitor Application Configuration Dialog are discussed below.
Refer to Figure 4-2.
• Enter the path and filename of the HTML browser.
• Adjust the RAID Monitor Service polling interval or frequency. The polling interval
determines how frequently the
RAID Monitor Service checks the status of disks and RAID
volumes. Use the slider bar to adjust the polling interval. The default polling interval is five
seconds. One tick in the slider bar increments/decrements the polling interval by five seconds.
Whenever a RAID volume causes an event, the RAID Monitor Service sends a notification to
the registered applications.
• Check or uncheck the check box to enable or disable the RAID monitor service, respectively.
Unchecking the box disables RAID events from displaying a message on the screen.
