InSite Private Monitoring Location V1.3.X and later

1. Overview

InSite by AlertSite is your own personal monitoring location. InSite monitors websites and transactions, collecting web application metrics from a private location within your local network. This provides crucial insight into service delivery levels and a common platform of metrics for managing Service Level Agreements.

InSite adds an internal perspective to external web performance monitoring, giving you the means to evaluate website performance and availability from inside as well as outside your network.

InSite can also provide monitoring for back-office, CRM, and other internal applications that have no external accessibility. InSite is completely integrated into AlertSite's monitoring service and console, and brings all of your critical web monitoring together in one view.

2. Installation

Installation is quick and easy:

• Install the hardware
• Purchase the InSite by AlertSite plan for your AlertSite account
• Configure the InSite Location in the account
• Configure Site/Server devices to be monitored with the InSite plan
• Register the InSite Location through the InSite Control Panel

Each of these steps is described in detail below.

The InSite appliance must always be powered on, otherwise, monitoring from your InSite location will stop.

Please read through these notes before continuing in order to familiarize yourself with the procedure. Note that screenshots are provided for illustration purposes only and may not reflect actual devices.

2.1 InSite-to-AlertSite Communication Configuration

As a prerequisite, the remote InSite appliance needs to communicate, either directly or through a proxy, to the hosts and outbound ports of any external servers you wish to monitor, as well as to the following servers/services:

Port	Protocol	URL/Server	Function
22	SSH	insiterepair.alertsite.com	To Enable Remote Support on InSite Appliance
25	SMTP	Notifier mailserver	For outgoing e-mail notifications (if you do not set an internal mail relay host)
80	HTTP	N/A	For http traffic
443	HTTPS (SSL)	privateagent.alertsite.com	To register the InSite Private Monitoring appliance and ServerAgent
443	HTTPS (SSL)	privateagent.alertsite.com	To send monitoring data back to AlertSite Console
443	HTTPS (SSL)	reports.alertsite.com	Report processing server
4892	Encrypted XML	Multiple external hosts	For InSite's ServerAgent monitoring and reporting

For proxy server, you need to know the HTTP, SSL (HTTPS), and/or SOCKS proxy IP addresses and port numbers, as well as SOCKS version if using SOCKS proxy.

In addition, the IP addresses of the monitoring location used by the ServerAgent configured to monitor InSite must be allowed. To find out what monitoring location you are using:

• Click on the ServerAgent name in the Configuration: ServerAgents page
• In the Manage Servers page, click on the Locations button in the upper right
• Note the highlighted location in the list, then click the Help link in the upper right
• Scroll to Monitoring Locations in the index and click to view the table

The list of IP addresses for all monitoring stations at that location is displayed. All IPs in the list must be allowed, as load balancing is used to select the specific server.

2.2 Install the InSite Appliance Hardware

• Unpack the appliance
• Install server rails (optional)
• Install a monitor on the video interface
• Plug in the network connector to the Ethernet port
• Plug in the power cord and press the power button on the front panel
• Note the IP address of the InSite appliance in the monitor screen after boot-up is complete

NOTE: If you are not using DHCP, see 4.3.1 Network Configuration

2.3 Purchasing InSite by AlertSite

Log in to your AlertSite Console and navigate to Support → AlertSite Contact for your AlertSite Sales Manager's contact information. Call your sales rep for assistance in choosing the right InSite appliance for your needs.

2.4 Devices Monitored by InSite

Please consider carefully the number of devices you expect to monitor prior to purchasing your InSite appliance to allow for future expansion. The capacity of the InSite unit is the maximum number of devices for which monitoring data history is maintained, regardless of monitoring status. For example, if you have an InSite-25 appliance with the maximum number of devices configured (25), you cannot add more devices even if the existing devices are disabled as they are still using device slots.

You must either upgrade to a higher-capacity InSite unit (see 7. InSite Appliance Specifications and Replacement Information) or delete the commensurate number of existing devices from the current InSite unit before you add new devices. Please note that deleting the devices will also delete the data history for those devices.

Back to top

5. InSite ServerAgent Monitoring

Every 10 minutes, InSite checks for new monitoring data. If there are new results, the data are sent back to AlertSite and an InSite log file is updated, changing the log file's date. How often the data are sent depends on the monitoring interval for devices monitored with InSite. Results are sent to AlertSite at the shortest interval configured in the console, but no shorter than 10 minutes. In other words, if the shortest monitoring interval for all your InSite monitored devices is 15 minutes, then data will be sent every 20 minutes. If the shortest interval is 5 minutes, the data will be sent every 10 minutes.

In order to monitor the health of your InSite box using ServerAgent, a special script, lastsend.sh, has been included in InSite V1.2.1 and later. The script returns the number of minutes since the last time data was sent from InSite to AlertSite, based on the log file date. At least one device must be monitored by InSite for this script to function as it was intended.

Configure ServerAgent to run lastsend.sh as a User Script. Since the date of the log file shouldn't be older than 10 minutes longer than your shortest monitoring interval, it will report a warning if the return value is, say, >(interval+5) minutes and an error if the return value is >(interval+10) minutes. The ServerAgent User Script thresholds can be populated during ServerAgent configuration, following ServerAgent registration as described in 4.4.1 Register ServerAgent and after it is enabled as described in 4.4.2 Start/Stop ServerAgent Monitoring.

Configuring the User Script is a simple process:

1. Go to the Manage Server screen for the InSite ServerAgent device
2. Click the User Scripts tab
3. Click the Enable User Scripts Monitor check box
4. Make the following changes in the first (blank) line
   • Click the Enabled and Notify check boxes
   • Enter lastsend.sh in the Name Box if it is not present
   • Change the Compare conditional operator to > or >=
   • Change Warning Value to your shortest monitoring interval + 5
   • Change Threshold Value to your shortest monitoring interval + 10
5. Click Submit in the upper right of the Manager Server screen

---

You may adjust the Warning and Threshold values, but don't make them lower than your shortest monitoring interval + 20 minutes. Also note that if your shortest monitoring interval is 10 minutes, the data may not be sent until the next 10-minute check.

NOTE: You may receive one or two alerts initially while the system syncs up the connection to ServerAgent and/or the lastsend.sh user process. Allow some time for communications to settle in.

6. Troubleshooting

If the response time metrics are not being updated or notifications are not being sent/received, please refer to the list below for tips on troubleshooting.

• Verify that InSite appliance hardware is up and running.
• Ensure the network cabling is installed correctly. See 2.2 Install the InSite Appliance Hardware.
• Bring up the InSite Control Panel as referenced in 4. InSite Control Panel and verify that the monitor is functioning and the time stamp in the Time field is updating.
• If the Monitoring Status shows that the monitor is functioning, re-register the device as described in 4.2.1 Register Location.
• Check that the monitoring status in the Manage InSite Locations screen in the AlertSite console is Active.
• In the InSite Control Panel, select Diagnostics → Diagnostic Tests and run a traceroute to privateagent.alertsite.com. To use a different port, put a space after .com followed by the port number, e.g., privateagent.alertsite.com 443.
• Make sure that your device has the InSite Monitoring Location selected in the Locations list.
• Network Firewall rules must be modified to allow the InSite Monitoring Location to make SSL connections to privateagent.alertsite.com as well as appropriate connections to the devices you are monitoring
• In the event that you do not receive notifications, click the _Select All box to send all the logs on your SMTP server to AlertSite support.
• If your SMTP logs don't provide enough information for you to determine the problem, select Diagnostics → Email Logs from the InSite Control Panel dropdown and click the (Select All) check box to email all log files from the InSite appliance to AlertSite Support.
• AlertSite requires SSL communication with privateagent.alertsite.com for proper functioning.
• If the InSite appliance goes down or crashes, reinitialize the box by cycling power.

If you're still having problems after following these troubleshooting tips, contact Customer Support. Remote Access to your InSite box may be required. In the event of a Linux security update, a new InSite appliance will be shipped to you.
