Keep the server running at its best

  1. Start Fiery Health Monitor by one of these methods.
    • In the upper-right corner of Job Center under the Partner logo, click the Fiery Health Monitor link.
    • Select Server > Fiery Health Monitor.
    • Right-click the Fiery server name and select Health Monitor.
  2. Click one of the tools.
    • Fiery Updates (if supported by your Fiery server) installs updates and patches for Fiery system software and Fiery API: Update Fiery server system software through Command WorkStation
    • Check C: disk space monitors the C: drive for disk usage and prompts the administrator to start Windows Disk Cleanup.
    • Check E: or J: disk space monitors the job storage drive (J: for FS400/400 Pro and later and E: for FS350/350 Pro and earlier) and accesses the Clear Server feature, allowing you to clear jobs, logs, and VDP resources: Clear Server.
    • Restart Fiery prompts the Administrator to restart the Fiery server periodically to optimize performance.
    • Archive Manager archives jobs outside of the Fiery server: Archive jobs.
      Note: If Archive Manager is turned off in Command WorkStation > Preferences, it will not appear in Fiery Health Monitor.
    • Fiery Backup Schedule (if supported by your Fiery server) sets a daily or weekly schedule for automatic backups. This opens WebTools in a default browser window. If browser security errors appear, you can dismiss them and continue.
    • Windows Updates makes sure that your Fiery server is up to date with the latest Windows updates and prompts the administrator to start the Windows Updates application.
      Note: Disk Cleanup and Windows Updates apply only to a Windows-based Fiery server and are not available via a remote Command WorkStation connection. However, remote Command WorkStation clients are prompted to use the keyboard, monitor, and mouse connected to the Fiery server, or to use Windows Remote Desktop for these two items.
