This topic explains how you can monitor the server and project users—for example, see the projects that have been created on the server, check who is connected, or find the Project Owners for a particular project.
You can use the Windows Event Viewer to monitor the errors, warnings or information generated by NVivo Server:
In Windows Control Panel (classic view), double-click Administrative tools.
Double-click Event Viewer.
In the console tree, expand Application and Services Logs, and then select NVivo Service.
To see the active server projects and the users who are currently working on them:
In NVivo Server Manager, click the Projects tab.
The projects stored on the NVivo Server (and registered in the NVivo Server metabase) are listed along with their file sizes and project format (for example, NVivo for Windows 10.0 or 9.2).
Select a project from the Projects box.
The users that are currently connected to the selected project are displayed in the Connected Users box.
NOTE If you cannot see a project in the list, which you expect to see (for example, a project you restored using SQL Server Management Studio), you may need to refresh the list of projects displayed in the Server Manager.
In NVivo Server Manager, click the Projects tab.
The projects stored on the NVivo Server (and registered in the NVivo Server metabase) are listed.
Select a project from the Projects box. The Project Owners for the selected project are displayed in the Project Owners box.
NOTE
Usually Project Owners are added to the project via the NVivo client, however if all existing Project Owners for a project are unavailable (for example, because people have left your organization), you can add another Project Owner to the project via NVivo Server Manager.
If you cannot see a project in the list, which you expect to see (for example, a project you restored using SQL Server Management Studio), you may need to refresh the list of projects displayed in the Server Manager.
You can display information about currently connected users including the:
Account they are using to log on to the server
Client access type (named or concurrent)
Time they connected to the server
Server groups they are members of (Project Creators, Administrators or Users)
Projects they are connected to
You can also see the number of CALs that are currently being consumed by connected users.
To access this information:
In NVivo Server Manager, click the Users tab.
On the left, click the Users tab.
If you have created a backup schedule in NVivo Server Manager, you can check that scheduled backups are completing successfully:
Open the NVivo Server Manager.
Click the Backups tab.
On the left, click the History tab.
Scheduled backups are listed in chronological order. You can see when a scheduled backup started and finished and whether it completed successfully
If a backup failed, you can click the View Details button to find out more information.
NOTE
If the most recent backup failed, a notification is displayed on the Home screen when you open NVivo Server Manager.
You can set up e-mail notifications to alert you if a backup fails, refer to Maintain NVivo Server (Schedule regular backups via NVivo Server Manager) for more information.
