ChronoMonitor can also receive push notifications from ChronoSync v4.6 or later. With ChronoMonitor you can: • Monitor up to 20 ChronoAgents. • Connect to agents on a LAN (WiFi) or WWAN (cellular). • Determine the reachability and running status of an agent. • Identify if an agent is encountering errors such as dropped connections or even crashes. • Detect failed logins, possibly uncovering attempts to crack security. • View the ChronoAgent version number installed on the remote computer. • Detect if ChronoAgent updates are available. • Track activity and load being placed on a ChronoAgent. • Receive push notifications from ChronoSync v4.6 or later. • View and categorize notifications by the originating document or device.
