jSuspect

Preconditioned the Java Runtime for the server has been properly installed, just follow the next few steps to get it up and running:

  1. Edit '/conf/config.xml' to meet your local installation.

  2. Edit '/conf/log4j.properties' to set the path to your logfiles.

  3. Edit '/conf/settings.xml' to configure check-interval, proxy- and mail-settings, ...

  4. Targets (URLs) to check are grouped in categories which have to be registered:

    Option A: Make a COPY of the '/categories/template/template.xml'-file to start with your first category (see '/categories/template/example.xml'). Put your individual category-file(s) in the '/categories'-folder. All valid files in this folder will be registered at server-start.

    OPTIONAL: For validating '/conf/settings.xml' and all files in '/categories'-folder against their corresponding xml-schema before starting the server, change to '/etc/validation'-folder and call the build-file (requires Apache ANT). Nevertheless they will automatically be validated at server-start.

    Option B: Create your individual categories with the jSuspect-client. The corresponding files will then be saved to the '/categories'-folder.

    Option C: If the jSuspect-server is already running, just put your new category-file(s) in the '/categories'-folder. They will be loaded when the next check runs.

  5. Change to

        '/bin/server/unix'-folder and call 'jsuspect-server.sh  start' (for Linux) or 'jsuspect-server-nonservice.sh' (for Solaris, ...)

        '/bin/server/windows'-folder and call 'jsuspect-server.bat' or 'install-service.bat' to register as a windows service

     

    Finally check the installation with your web browser by calling:

        http://<address-of-jsuspect-server>:<port-from-config.xml>/jsuspect-client/start.html

    The jSuspect-server runs an embedded webserver who provides the web client as an applet.
