ServerWatcher Preferences:
- Retry Interval: How often should servers be checked? This will kick in at the beginning of the next countdown. You should set this to the maximum amount of time you are comfortable with so as to minimize the number of requests to your server. Not that requesting pages from a web server is bad, but there's no point in adding extra load to your server if you don't need it.
- HTTP(S) Timeout: This is how long ServerWatcher will wait for a response from your servers. If it doesn't get a response in that time it will consider it dead and move on. This should always be less than your retry interval. Otherwise you could end up with backed up requests if your server is being slow.
- Web Server: If the enabled checkbox isn't checked ServerWatchers web server is off. When choosing a port be sure to choose one that isn't already in use and that your firewall has open so that you see from other computers. If you don't want to check statuses from other computers don't bother turning on the server.
All chages take effect when you click "Save".
