### Monitoring clustered servers

The JReport Server Monitor is a standalone web-based application used for monitoring the overall performance of JReport Enterprise Server. JReport Server Monitor should be used together with JReport Enterprise Server.

JReport Server Monitor contains the following main features:

- Inspects the status of JReport Enterprise Server.
- Shows server performance statistics in Graph/Text mode.
- Maintains JReport Enterprise Server.
- Creates profiling reports: performance reports and statistics reports.

Before you can use JReport Server Monitor, the following steps must be taken:

1. Download and install JReport Server Monitor.
2. Modify the server.properties file in `<monitor_install_root>\bin` in order to configure the admin server IP address and port information.
3. Copy rmi.auth from `<adminserver_install_root>\bin` of the admin server to `<monitor_install_root>\bin`, or remove rmi.auth from `<adminserver_install_root>\bin`.
4. Start JReport Enterprise Server.
5. Launch MonitorServer.bat in `<monitor_install_root>\bin` to start JReport Server Monitor.
6. Access JReport Server Monitor using `http://adminhost:serverport,` or by clicking the Monitor link on the JReport Administration page.

Note: The Monitor link will not be displayed on the JReport Administration page when the web.monitor.link.enable property in the server.properties file in `<server_install_root>\bin` is set to false.
