Hello all,
is it possible to create alarms to report to the Smart Client alarm manager the fact that a Federation or Management server is down. I specify that I have a federation server in my architecture.
Initial aim is to have an alarm in the Event Server of the parent site (Federation of Management) , so that an external client could get information that the Child site went off.
Is there any possibility from an external client to gather the management status through SDK ?
Thank you for your help.
Yes, you can create an external application or service that can monitor whether the Management Server is up. There is a utility class that can help you achieve this: VideoOS.Platform.SDK.Util.ServerMonitor

We have an old sample that uses this, the sample is not part of the official samples and provided asis.. https://download.milestonesys.com/MIPSDK/Samples/MSAlive.zip
When you have the status you can trigger an event or in other ways signal the XProtect VMS to get an alarm.
