Bug/ Deficiency:Health Monitor not available in Power User view
---------------------------------------------------------------
PRODUCT, VERSION, VERSION OF MICROUPDATE, OPERATING SYSTEM, ARCHITECTURE
Plesk Panel 11.0.9 update #7, MS server 2008 R2, IIS7, on i5 server
PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
Bug/ Deficiency:Health Monitor not available in Power User view
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
set Power User view
ACTUAL RESULT
Health Monitor Module is installed and running on server, but not visible any where on the Panel ( Home > Server Health ... as ~ per p339 in Admin guide 11)
EXPECTED RESULT
Ok, I see Health Monitor now when I switch to Service provider mode, but I don't get why Health Monitor has this restriction? We typically use Power User view. Why is Health Monitor not available in the Control Panel there? The documentation says "server administration functions are included in the Control Panel in this (Power User) view", but health monitor is not. Is there a way better way to monitor server health or a way around this restriction? Sorry if this is ignorant question (I'm more familiar with Linux than Win approaches plus I'm new to this tool), I need to monitor server performance and stress/debug under full production load. Should I go directly to IIS7 and Server 2008 monitors for this?
As ~ per p32 in Admin guide 11 : Power User view. This view is the best for power users - those who use Panel solely for personal needs, such as for maintaining a company portal or a mail server. In this view, both server administration and hosting services management take place in the Control Panel. As this view does not assume a reselling service to others is needed, it does not provide facilities for managing hosting plans, subscriptions, resellers, and customers. Also, as the server administration functions are included in the Control Panel in this view, the Server Administration Panel becomes unavailable.
ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
-------------------------------------------------------------
Health Monitor documentation is really poor, I assumed "Power User" would have access to server health, I read pages 339-341 (out of your 773 paged doc!) and wasted a lot of time finding out the feature is not available to "power users" as defined on page 32. I'm forced to conclude that true power users probably don't use Heath Monitor. Am I wrong?
