To set up Server Monitor to notify you by mail when an Xserve computer’s status
changes, click Edit Notications. For each server, you set up the conditions that
you want notication for. The mail message can come from Server Monitor or from
the server.

a log, click Show Log. The log shows, for example, Server Monitor attempts to contact
the server and whether a connection was successful. The log also shows server status
changes. (The logs don’t include system activity on the server.)
