Installing sudoSignals

sudoSignals runs as a local process on your Windows computer. In order for Signals to monitor your applications, we need to install the local client.

Download sudoSignals​

Here is the latest sudoSignals installer.

Versioning

You should always use a sudoSignals client whose system version matches the major and minor version for the dashboard. For example, the client 1.0.1 is compatible with a dashboard 1.0.5; however a client with a version 1.1.1 would not be compatible with a dashboard 1.0.5. Versioning follows the pattern major.minor.patch - e.g. 1.0.1
