You can view the information about a role's database, such as the database server and database versions, how much disk space is available, and a summary of the data it holds.

What you should know

The database information provided varies depending on the role. You might be asked to provide information on a role’s database when you contact Genetec™ Technical Assistance Center.

All roles' database information are viewed from Config Tool, except for the Directory database, which must be viewed from the Server Admin - Main Server page. The procedures are similar, so only viewing from Config Tool is described here.

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the System task and click the Roles view.
  2. Select a role, and click the Resources tab.
  3. Click Database info ().
