Monitoring Server Accessibility
You can monitor whether specific IT devices are alive by having the SRC
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.
SRC 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.
Tip: To make the SRC 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 237). An example is
available in Example: Ping Monitoring and SNMP Notifications (on
page 304).

1. Choose Device Settings > Server Reachability.
