Monitor Users / Computers
The default view for monitoring Clients is Monitor Users. If you prefer, you can switch to a Monitor Computers view, following the instructions in Switch Views.
The Monitor Computers view lists Client Recorders by computer instead of user, and allows you to:
Record events by computer
View each computer's Operating System and recording status
Start and stop recording
View a log file for the Client
Restart the Client computer
Double-click a computer to view recordings
Adjust the Client Settings directly from the Viewer
This view is useful when you need to view activity on each computer, regardless of user. For example, library computers may have dozens of temporary user logins, making it preferable to view all activity on each computer at once.

|
Do NOT use this view if you are using a multi-user computing environment like Citrix and Terminal Services. |
The Monitor Computers view organizes and provides access to recorded events by computer name. Any user activity that occurs on the computer will be available from the Viewer.
Note: Computers will NOT be listed in Monitor Computers until they have been added to the Manage Computers view.
Monitors Computers displays information from the Data Vault in the following columns:
Computer
Name - The computer's name on the network:
Indicates Control Center can communicate with computer.
Indicates Control Center is not currently communicating with the computer.
Domain or Group - The computer's Domain or Workgroup name, or, if Group Management is enabled, the computer's assigned group (which by default is the domain).
First Event - The date and time of the first recorded event available for this computer in the Data Vault. This is the date/time the event was received by the Data Vault, not the date of recording on the Client.
Last Event - The date and time the last recorded event for this computer was received by the Data Vault.
There are four ways to access menu options in this view. (1) Right-click the Monitor Computers icon in the left pane, (2) right-click a blank area in the right pane, (3) right-click on a computer in the right pane, or (4) select a computer in the right pane and open the Action menu at the top of the window.
