Displays all the command options for different monitoring settings
|
KM Settings > Alert Actions
|
Enables you to select the Alert Actions (different methods of notification) to be executed by Hardware Sentry when a parameter breaches its threshold
|
KM Settings > Missing Device Detection
|
Enables/Disables missing device detection. By default, Hardware Sentry detects "missing devices" i.e. devices previously monitored but which have disappeared during the monitoring or after a reboot or due to some other cause
|
KM Settings > Intrusion Detection Alerts
|
Allows you to decide when an intrusion detection alert for the enclosure/ systems chassis should be raised. The IntrusionStatus parameter of each enclosure object discovered by Hardware Sentry reports whether or not the chassis has been opened, and triggers an alarm as per user settings.
|
KM Settings > Automatic ErrorCount Reset
|
Enables you to schedule the automatic reset of the ErrorCount parameter of a specific device.
|
KM Settings > Discovery Interval
|
Enables you to customize the discovery cycle. By default, discovery is performed every hour
|
KM Settings > Polling Interval
|
Enables you to customize the polling cycle. By default, the polling interval is done every 2 minutes
|
KM Settings > Java Settings
|
Enables you to define which Java instance is to be used by Hardware Sentry
|
KM Settings > Debug
|
Activates or deactivates the debug mode. The debug Mode displays debug messages in the PATROL System Output Window or saves it in a file if you enter the file path.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings
|
Enables you to perform additional settings such as restoring device monitoring, displaying settings for UNIX Console and enabling/disabling debug mode.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Threshold Mechanism Selection
|
Allows you to select the threshold mechanism:
•Automatic (by default): Hardware Sentry determines the mode of threshold management best suited to the system. The different modes are: •Tuning: Hardware Sentry uses the internal PATROL mechanism to set thresholds •PCM/Event Management: Hardware Sentry automatically sets thresholds through PCM/Event Management •No thresholds: Hardware Sentry does not set any thresholds and lets you specify them manually. |
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Unknown Status Management
|
Enables you to set actions to be performed when Hardware Sentry is unable to detect the status of a monitored device.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Restore Device or Sensor Monitoring
|
Brings up the "Restore Device or Sensor Monitoring" wizard to restore one or several objects after their monitoring has been stopped
