Using the OSD Interface to Configure the SLK

SecureLinx SLK Remote KVM User Guide
Monitoring Settings Menu
The Monitor Settings menu spans three OSD screens. Use the
up
and
down
arrows
to
navigate between them. From these menus you can configure the SLK to continuously
monitor the attached servers for common failures. If such a failure occurs, the SLK logs
the event and can be configured to alert an administrator via email. Alternatively, for
more autonomous monitoring, the SLK can be configured to automatically reset power
(power-cycle) to an attached server that reports one of the enabled alerts (this feature
requires use of a third-party power control unit).
First Monitoring Settings Screen

Note:
All alert conditions are disabled by default.
1
Alert email addresses.
Enter the email address of the administrator who should be
notified.
2
SMTP relay.
Enter the IP address of the SMTP server to use to send mail. This
server should be the mail server for the domain or a server willing to relay to the
specified email address. To disable, set the address to 0.0.0.0 (default)
3
Message format.
The email message format can be configured for either normal
(default) or short messages.
4
Send email for alerts.
Enabled by default, but this setting will not take effect until
an SMTP server address is configured and enabled.
5
Power-cycle the host.
The SLK can be configured to use a third-party power
control unit to automatically reset a server after a reported failure.
Note:
This choice carries risk because the failure tests may sometimes report a fault
erroneously.
