Description
Description
The description of the sensor that will be viewed in the Summary page and in the body of alert
messages
Group
Assign the sensor to any group 1 -8 (see also page 39)
Units
This lets the operator choose between Celsius and Fahrenheit as the temperature
measurement unit.
Min. Level
Displays the minimum value that this sensor will report
Max. Level
Displays the maximum value that this sensor will report
Minimum Non-Critical -
Threshold
The user must define the lowest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value below this threshold, the sensor will move to non-critical alert status. The assigned value
should be
¾
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level and
¾
lower than the assigned Maximum Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Maximum Non-Critical
Threshold
The user must define the highest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value above this threshold, the sensor will move to non-critical alert status. The assigned value
should be
¾
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level and
¾
higher than the assigned Minimum Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Minimum Critical Threshold
The user must define the lowest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value below this threshold, the sensor will move to alert status. The assigned value should be
¾
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level,
¾
lower than the assigned Maximum Threshold value, and
¾
lower than the Minimum Non-Critical Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Maximum Critical Threshold
The user must define the highest acceptable value for the sensors. If the sensor measures a
value above this threshold, the sensor will move to alert status. The assigned value should be
¾
within the range defined by Minimum Level and Maximum Level,
¾
higher than the assigned Minimum Threshold value, and
¾
higher than the Maximum Non-Critical Threshold value.
If values out of the range are entered, and error message will be shown.
Refresh Rate
Determines how often the displayed sensor value is refreshed on the Sensor page. A numeric
value and a measurement unit (minimum 1 seconds, maximum 999 minutes) should be entered.
Alert Settings (Applies to Critical and Non-Critical Alerts except where noted)
Disable Alerts
Place a checkmark in the box to prevent alerts from being sent when this sensor’s status
changes
Alert Delay
The alert delay is an amount of time the sensor must be in an alert condition before an alert is
sent. This provides some protection against false alarms. The Alert Delay value can be set
for 0-999 seconds or minutes.
Notify Again Time
Enter the amount of time in seconds, minutes, or hours (1-999) before an alert message will be
repeated
Notify on Return to Normal
The user can also be notified when the sensor readings have returned to the normal range by
selecting the "Notify when return to normal" box for a sensor.
Auto Acknowledge
Place a checkmark in this box to have alert notifications in the summary page return to normal
state automatically when sensor readings return to normal.
Note
: The Non-Critical alert settings do not have this option. Instead, non-critical alert
notifications are always auto-acknowledged when sensor readings return to normal
Enable Syslog Alerts
Place a checkmark in this box to have alert notifications sent via Syslog messages
Enable SNMP traps
Place a checkmark in this box to have alert notifications sent via SNMP traps (v2c)
Enable Email Alerts
Place a checkmark in this box to have alert notifications sent via Email
Email Subject
Enter the subject to be viewed when an email alert message is received
