Unable to connect to Base Monitor

This error is shown when Redgate Monitor can't connect to the base monitor (also called the monitoring service). You might also see the error "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it".

The error has several possible causes.

The monitoring service is disconnected, or there's a problem with the network

Make sure the machine that hosts the monitoring service is turned on and connected to the network.

The monitoring service is stopped

To make sure the monitoring service is running:

  1. Log into the machine that hosts the monitoring service. 
  2. In the Start menu, type services.msc
    Services 
    opens.
  3. In the list, find Redgate Monitor Base Monitor.


  4. If the service is running correctly, its status should be Running.
    If the status is something else, or if there's no status, right-click the service and select Start.

The monitoring service connection details are incorrect

If the machine hosting the monitoring service or its port number have changed, reconfigure Redgate Monitor with the correct connection.

  1. Log into the machine where the web server is installed.
  2. Open the Redgate Monitor web interface.
  3. Enter the connection details.
