Internalcontrol is adequately designed and properly executed if all five internal control components of the University-adopted Committee of Sponsoring Organizations (COSO) methodology (Control Environment, Risk Assessment, Control Activities, Information & Communication, and Monitoring) are present and functioning as designed.
Just as control activities help to ensure that risk management actions are carried out, monitoring helps to ensure that control activities and other planned actions to effect internal control are carried out properly and in a timely manner, and that the end result is effective internal control.
Ongoing monitoring activities evaluate and improve the design, execution and effectiveness of internal control. Separate evaluations, on the other hand, such as self-assessments (done by department employees) and internal audits, are periodic evaluations of internal control components resulting in a formal report on internal control.
Management's role in the internal control system is critical to its effectiveness. Managers, like auditors, don't have to look at every single piece of information to determine that the controls are functioning and should focus their monitoring activities in high-risk areas. Spot-checking transactions or basic sampling techniques can provide a reasonable level of confidence that the controls are functioning as intended.
In synthetic monitoring, a private location is a collection of synthetics job managers or private minions (legacy). Synthetics job managers and minions (legacy) are containerized application that receive and manage jobs set up through the synthetics UI.
A private location can contain any number of synthetics job managers or private minions. Private locations allow you to extend your synthetic monitoring coverage to new geographical locations, and to monitor websites behind your firewall (like an intranet site).
The synthetics job manager or minion needs to connect to the synthetic monitoring's horde endpoint to receive and process jobs. If your firewall rules don't permit direct access, you must configure proxy access.
If a private location is set up by an account with child accounts, it can be used by users with access to those child accounts. But if it's set up on a child account, it can only be used by users in that account.
Each synthetics job manager or minion can run about 200 ping monitor checks per minute (about 8,640,000 checks per month). If the job queue for a particular location is growing, add additional minions. The exact capacity of the minions can vary, depending on:
To add jobs to the queue for your location, follow standard procedures to add or edit a monitor, and select your location from the Private locations list. To assign an existing monitor, edit that monitor's settings.
Synthetic monitoring includes tools to manage locations and individual synthetics job managers or minions (legacy). You can also install new synthetics job managers or minions (legacy), and clear the job queue if it backs up.
Since Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics launched in 2019, Synthetics canaries have become the first line of defense to reliably alert developers if their public endpoints, including REST APIs and URLs, show unexpected latencies or availability drops. In addition, Synthetics canaries can also monitor for broken links, or unauthorized content changes resulting from phishing, code injection, or cross-site scripting. With Synthetics canaries, developers no longer have to wait for accidental discovery of bugs, or until a frustrated customer calls in. They can proactively monitor to discover these issues, react faster, and avoid high cost to business.
Today, organizations rely on an intranet, or a private network to securely run their business infrastructure. Accessible only to authorized users, the network is shielded from external internet access and acts as an essential hub for communication, collaboration, and more. Microservices, APIs, or internal web tools inside a private network often power customer-facing websites and applications. Continuously monitoring both internal and external endpoints using synthetic monitoring is vital to ensure smooth operations on a consistent basis. This blog post covers:
There are two parts for setting up the Synthetics canary. First, ensure and create the resources required for an internal endpoint. Next, create and configure Synthetics canary to monitor the internal endpoint.
Below is a schematic of components for setting up a Synthetics canary to monitor an internal endpoint on Amazon VPC. It also shows network traffic flow from the Synthetics canary to the internal endpoint and other AWS services. The VPC does not have internet access enabled.
Below is a schematic of components involved for setting up a Synthetics canary to monitor an internal endpoint running on other VPC networks/firewall setups. It also shows the network traffic flow from the Synthetics canary to your internal endpoint and other AWS services.
In this post, we used Amazon CloudWatch Synthetics to route a CloudWatch Synthetics canary to originate from the same network that your internal endpoints are accessible from or from a single IP address owned by you.

I am looking for a consistant way of getting the name of the built-in monitor in a laptop. To be exact, I am looking for the name of the monitor that will be turned off when the lid is closed. I was just wondering if there is a way without any hypothesis on the name (not listing every existing names...).
For example, I was looking at how logind was able to differenciate HandleSwitchLid and HandleSwitchLidDocked, but I did not find anything very useful as sometimes sources are not very easy to understand
There's simply no standardized hardware flag that would tell you "this screen is physically built into the same case as the rest of the computer". So you need to guess, and the type of the interface is a good source of some hints, just because there aren't any video interfaces that would be commonly used both internally and externally.
As mentioned in an accompanying comment, they prefer to possibly miss some external displays than to mistake an internal one for external (and block suspending the system for no reason). If you'd rather do it the other way, you probably need to look just for eDP and LVDS as the "likely internal" interfaces.
You might be able to use xrandr to give you the output you need.For instance, xrandr --query on my machine shows the adapters (the first one on my laptop is eDP1, and xrandr --listmonitors shows the monitor names as I'd see them in my Monitors and screen gui panel.
Can anyone tell me if it "generally" true that a laptop can drive say a projector or external screen at a higher resolution than its internal screen, or are they "generally" limited to the internal screen res? I know this might be an "it depends" answer, but the external max resolution is not always specified. I will want to drive 1920x1080 or 1400x1050 from a laptop that will probably have a 1366x768 screen. Also, am I likely to have distortion if the external aspect ratio doesn't match the internal screen, or does this depend on the graphic chip and something I need to look into carefully before buying? Thanks.
It should be easy enough to find out what resolutions your display adapter supports by checking the Display Adapters branch of the Device Manager to identify your graphics chipset then Googling for its name + maximum resolution.
However, I'm still seeing issues in monitor alignment: I can align monitors such that internal (i.e., cockpit view) is aligned, but then switching to external only (forward with scenery) the monitors are misaligned. Alternatively, if I align them for the external view, then switching to internal results in mis-alignment.
My monitor setup is three identical 1080p with one 720p. Oddly enough, one of the 1080p monitors gets out-of-alignment (the 720p may also, but to 1080p is obvious). See attached image of the three 1080p: FOV, vertical offset, etc are all set to the default: the expectation is that all three monitors should so the same thing. (The image shows the three 1080p monitors left-to-right: top-to-bottom are three different views: Forward 2d, Forward Scenery, Forward 3d).
Instead, note that they're all aligned only when view "forward with scenery", but the middle monitor offsets one way for "forward with 3d cockpit", and offsets differently for "forward with 2d cockpit." ... Sometimes it's a different monitor that is wrong, but it is always one of the 1080p.
I'll take a look at this, I have a similar setup. I gave up using 3 monitors with the Beta, I was getting all sorts alignment and performance issues (looked like it was rendering the scene 3 times, per cycle, obviously for each screen), started to give me headaches, I went back to using Nvidia Surround, better but slightly stretched at the edges I may try again with b10. Also using a 4th monitor for Garmin Avionics.
I run 6 monitors. 3 front view spanning 180 around me. Side monitors are 1080, front is 65 4k. I have individually set up each monitor in the graphic section to lign up as best as I can and haven't had an issue. You can check my project at.
