Smart Diagnostic Utility

Overview

ENOVIA SmarTeam allows organizations to manage product data and processes among multi-CAD projects with ease. However, keeping an eye on the system for common types of problems can be time-consuming and require knowledge, skillsets, and time your IT staff may not possess.
Smart Diagnostic Utility from INCEPTRA provides an out-of-the-box, turnkey solution to monitor the various aspects of your SmarTeam architecture, and proactively notify via e-mail if any issues arise. For critical issues, Inceptra Support can be copied so that our Help Desk can help you troubleshoot. No longer are admins tethered to Remote Desktop screens, checking several times a day to ensure systems are still running. Notifications are immediately sent in the event of a failure, or if configurable warning criteria are met.

Product Description

Smart Diagnostic Utility runs as a Windows service, from any Windows machine with database connectivity. In the event of an issue, e-mail is sent via SMTP to a list of administrator accounts. The following tasks can be configured and run on a configurable schedule:

  • Removal of accumulated Temp files keeps disk usage from growing out of control
  • Integrity checks for common database issues allow admins to address issues before impacting Production
  • Vault Integrity checks for missing or orphaned files (works with Multisite and Multivault)
  • Multisite Replication monitoring allows admins to address issues before impacting Production
  • Service Monitoring checks to ensure critical Windows services are running
  • File Monitor checks the age of log files
