If the Properties page, reports, events and alarms are missing, then the plugin is not installed on your local machine. The plugin must be installed on a Security Center server (main or expansion) and on all client workstations that are used to monitor events.

Symptoms

  • In Config Tool, you see the plugin in the Plugins task, and you can add a new plugin role, but the role is missing the Properties tab.
  • In Security Desk, you do not see the reports for this plugin.
  • In Security Desk, you are not receiving events or alerts for this plugin.

Causes

  • The plugin is not installed on the local computer.
  • The license (certificate) is invalid.
  • You are missing required user privileges.

Solutions

Solution 1: Install the plugin on your local computer.

Solution 2: Make sure that a Security Center server has the plugin installed, that the plugin role is hosted on it, and that it is configured correctly.

Solution 3: Confirm that the plugin is installed on your Security Center computer: from the homepage in Security Desk or Config Tool, click About > Installed components and look in the list for entries that begin with Genetec.Plugins.

Solution 4: Confirm that your system has a license (certificate) for the plugin: from the homepage in Security Desk or Config Tool, click About > Certificates, look in the list for the name of the plugin, and make sure that your access permissions are set to Unlimited.
