Alerts
The Alerts page allows you to set thresholds for alerting for extraordinary usage, worm and
portscan intrusions and environmental conditions.
Extraordinary Usage alerts will trigger when traffic volumes reach the level you set. These
alerts can be very useful in detecting abnormal usage quickly before it impacts your network
or users.
Your Mako appliance automatically detects computers on your network that are infected with
worms and stops them from accessing the Internet. You can set how aggressive this
detection is from this page. Similarly, your Mako will detect unwanted portscan attempts and
block the source IP Address for a ten minute period. You can set how aggressive this
detection is from this page.
You can also choose at what CPU temperature you should be alerted at and whether you
want to be notified if the fan stops spinning. The default settings for environmental alerts
should only be changed in exceptional circumstances. Please consult your Reseller before
making any changes to the Environmental Alerts.
