In order to monitor a Radiator, you must first configure it into Radar.
Before you can monitor a new Radiator, you will need to know the DNS name
or IP address where it is running, and its Monitor port number. You will
also need to know a valid username and password that can be used with the
Radiator Monitor. If you don't know this information, consult your
Radiator server administrator. To configure Radar to monitor a new
Radiator, choose Tools->Monitor new Radiator server.... You will then
see a dialog similar to
Figure 5. Enter host name or address and port number.
Figure 5. Enter host name or address and port number
Enter the DNS name or IP address of the Radiator host. The default of
`localhost' means `on the same computer where Radar is running'. Also
enter the port number that the Radiator Monitor is listening on. The
default port of 9048 is the same as the default port that the Monitor
clause uses. See
Radiator
configuration for more details. Press Return, or click on OK. You
