Monitoring Server Accessibility
You can monitor whether specific IT devices are alive by having the PX3
continuously ping them. An IT device's successful response to the ping
commands indicates that the IT device is still alive and can be remotely
accessed.
This function is especially useful when you are not located in an area
with Internet connectivity.
PX3 can monitor any IT device, such as database servers, remote
authentication servers, power distribution units (PDUs), and so on. It
supports monitoring a maximum of 64 IT devices.
To perform this feature, you need the Administrator Privileges.
The default ping settings may not be suitable for monitoring devices that
require high connection reliability so it is strongly recommended that you
should adjust the ping settings for optimal results.
In addition, if your PX3 is outlet switching capable, you can even connect
a monitored IT device to one or multiple outlets of PX3 and then have PX3
perform the following two actions as needed, in addition to monitoring its
status:

First shut down the monitored IT device.

After the IT device is shut down, power off the outlet(s) where that
device is connected.
Important: Not every IT device can be shut down by PX3 so it is
suggested to verify whether the device can be shut down using a
shutdown command. For example, PX3 cannot shut down a PDU with
a shutdown command.
Tip: To make the PX3 automatically log, send notifications or perform
other actions for any server monitoring events, you can create event
rules. See
Event Rules and Actions (on page 353). An example is
available in Example: Ping Monitoring and SNMP Notifications (on
page 435).
To add IT equipment for ping monitoring:
1. Choose Device Settings > Server Reachability.
2. Click .
3. By default, the "Enable ping monitoring for this server" checkbox is
selected. If not, select it to enable this feature.
4. Configure the following.
