Platform Specifics and Web Monitoring
Web Monitoring with Agilent VEE
HTTP
Port
Number
Specifies the port number for the VEE Web server. The default
port number is 80. The only time you need to change the
default port number is when another Web server, such as
another instance of VEE, is running on the same system, or if
you want to restrict the remote user access to your VEE Web
server.
n By specifying an HTTP port between 0 and 65535, you can
restrict who can access and view data on your system.
n On HP-UX, only port numbers greater than 1024 are
allowed. The default port number is 8080.
n If you enter a different port number, the remote user that
views the VEE program must enter the same port number in
his or her browser. For example, if you set this field to port
85, the remote user would type in the URL as
http://hostname:85. (There is more information about
the definition of hostname later in this chapter.)
Server
Timeout
Specifies the maximum time that the VEE Web server will
wait for VEE to process commands. By default, this field is set
to 60 seconds. If the VEE program takes longer than the
specified time to process a command, VEE sends a timeout to
the Web server.
Log File
Specifies the log file where all incoming HTTP requests,
processed by the Web server, are recorded. The default
location for this file on a PC is
C:\windows\TEMP\http.log. If the log file does not
already exist, it is created when you make changes in the
Default Preferences ⇒ Web Server dialog.
Save
Saves the attributes displayed as permanent choices. This
saves the settings in the
vee.rc file on Windows or .veerc
file on HP-UX.
The values will be the default for future VEE Web sessions
until you change them again. To use the specified values only
for the current VEE session, click
OK.
