EasyHA system/application monitoring tools has web front
end. You can manipulate the application via web browser like MS-IE, Chrome and
Firefox. I think you want to view status of EasyHA by rich client on Windows or
mobile APP on your smart phone. In this post I would like to introduce the
EasyHA Client for Windows desktop.
EasyHA Client application is available for Windows platform
only till now. It is a Win32 GUI application. It runs in client/server mode. It
connects to EasyHA server, and retrieve the status of the server. In case
trigger is fired, you will receive the information of the event in time, and
the EasyHA Client will deliver notifications using balloon tips or flashing
tray icon. So you don’t need to check the web front end, and if you are using
windows desktop, you will be aware of the event/note soon.
Installing and uninstalling
Download and run the installer which will walk you through
the process. To uninstall the client on Windows run the uninstall.exe in
installation directory.

Settings
As EasyHA Client runs in client mode, we should please
specify the EasyHA server host name, port number. To verify the user’s
credential, you should also specify the user name and password. The information
will be remembered for next time you run the client.
The communication between EasyHA Client and Server is one
way (from the client to server) and http based, so normally there shouldn’t be
problem with firewalls. Of course, the access through the given port should be
allowed by your network administrator.
