e) Advanced sensor settings
Near the bottom of the sensors page you will see the advanced mode button
By clicking this you will get the following options :-
f) Advanced mode functions
Units:
changes units from C to F or vice versa
Rearm:
The Rearm parameter is useful for sensors whose values can vary such as
the temperature and humidity sensors.
It is used to prevent the sensor from flickering between two states. For example if the
Warning High
threshold for the temperature sensor is set to 30 degrees and the
sensor were to vary between 29 and 30 there could be a very large number of emails,
traps, and events logged. The Rearm parameter prevents this by forcing the
temperature to wait until it has dropped by the Rearm value before changing the state
back to normal. In this example, if Rearm is set to 2 then the sensor would have to
drop from 30 down to 27 before the status would change from
Warning High
back to
normal.
Reading offset:
A calibration tool. If the temperature sensor needs to be calibrated,
for example, an offset value of 5 could be entered. This would mean if the sensor
reads 20 degrees then it would record as 25 degrees. This figure can also be a minus
figure (e.g. -5 would show 15 degrees instead of 20)
The following advanced functions are for setting the time frame in which the system
should delay a notification being triggered when a sensor gives a reading that
exceeds the thresholds (high warning, normal, etc).
Continuous Time to Report High Critical:
This helps to eliminate unnecessary
messages during minor fluctuations. You can set the amount of time to delay a
notification of a status change from high warning to high critical. Enter the time in
se
conds and press the “Save” button. The amount of time that can be entered is
between 0 and 65535 seconds which equals approximately 18 hours
