1. Do I need to start Liaison on each host I want to monitor?

No. You can start Liaison on one host and then access Liaison remotely.

2. What should I do if I experience problems with the droplets (for example, if I am unable to load droplet XXXX or unable to find droplet YYYY)?

You can stop Liaison, delete the file Droplets/index, and restart it. This forces Liaison to rebuild the index file that contains the droplet names and the services they provide.

3. Why does Liaison's allocated memory grow while I use it?

This is because the current publicly available version of Liaison has been protected with a timebomb that removes some routines, freeing Liaison's memory. This is necessary to prevent people from using Liaison for commercial purposes.

4. Why isn't my SNMP agent discovered by the /SNMP/DISCOVERY/ droplet?

Make sure that you have modified the discovery.cfg file and added the entries corresponding to your network.

5. How can I develop a new droplet?

In a future release we hope to provide a "droplet wizard" to help developers create droplets.
