LoriotPro processes work as background tasks by using
the Windows multi-thread capability of Microsoft Windows. Some of them are
internal (internal to the LoriotPro kernel) others are external and called
plugin.
Service Plugins are developed with the provided LoriotPro SDK. Standard
plugin with their source code are provided with LoriotPro. They could serve
as example and help you to develop your own plugin if you wish. Another chapter
treats the Plugin development.
LoriotPro uses internal processes working in background mode to provide a continuous monitoring service. The control of these internal tasks is at your hand and is done by control windows accessible in the graphical interface from the menu. LoriotPro uses three internal main processes.
The web server is an external plugin started as a service plugin. The choice Web Server Process available in the main menu displays an informational window.
To access the internal monitoring windows select the configure option in the main menu.
