Environment Monitoring

Hardware Sentry automatically detects the information sources available on the monitored computer and displays the hardware information provided by those sources in the PATROL Consoles in the corresponding container.

If a hardware information source provides useful data about temperatures, fans, voltages or power-supplies, an icon is automatically created for each sensor found in the system as well as one or more parameters.

Environment Monitoring Icons

For each displayed sensor, one or more graphs are built by polling the sensor every two minutes. This graphic can be viewed by double-clicking the Temperature parameter in the Console.

MNG_Temperature_History

The location or the type of the sensor may appear in the icon label if this information is available.

Depending on the platform and sensors and if possible, alert thresholds are automatically set by Hardware Sentry KM for PATROL. When the parameter value reaches these thresholds, the parameter triggers a warning or an alarm and this alert is sent by the PATROL Console to the operators and administrators.

The parameters discovered depend on the server type. All parameters may not be discovered on all servers. Please refer to the Reference Guide to see which parameters are displayed for the different servers as well as for details on the menu commands for each application class.
