Features

Acts as an Sga-IC monitor program
Sends IMSI-IMEI assignment information from the checkIMEI transactions to the Poller for further processing
Provides simple statistical data and logging on the operation

Basic operation

Connects to Sga-IC Poller as an Sga-IC monitor program
Periodically scans datafile folder defined by SgaICFakeMonitor.ini/[Advanced]/sDataFile8999Path for temporary datafiles created by SgaICDataPoller
Sends IMSI-IMEI assignment information to the Poller

Logging

The SgaICFakeMonitor module creates daily logfiles about its working. The name of the logfile is "SgaICFakeMonitor_YYYYMMDD.log" reflecting the day when it is created.
The module can write information into the logfile and onto the screen with several detail levels set by the [Log]/Details menu item. The logging level can be:

Off (0) - warnings/errors are only reported (minimal logfile size and CPU usage)
Normal (1) - information about normal operation are also written into the logfile/screen
Detailed (2) - every received and sent signaling messages are logged
Debug (3) - hexadecimal information of messages is recorded (largest logfile and CPU usage)

Status line counters are logged in every fifteen minutes irrespectively of logging level actually set.

The different colors of log entries have different meanings:

Code Color Usage
0 Black Compact data record
1 Red Errors
2 Green Open/close output file/stream
3 Blue Open/close input file/stream
4 Yellow Warnings
5 Light Gray Detailed data (debug info)
6 Dark Grey Detailed data (user info)
7 Purple Operator intervention;
Errors with emphasis

Code	Color	Usage
