Re: HTTPS connection to mmonit

[Mr Subs]

Jamie,

This looks interesting, but it is not something I have used before, so I have 
some questions:

1. My server is located in the cloud, so my client is not on the same network. 
Where does this port mapping occur - client or server?
2. How do I configure mmonit on my server?

Any advice welcome!

Thanks
