This class is typically used to monitor devices that do not relate to the other classes and can rarely be monitored on servers. The device definition is given by the connector file and the device is monitored just as any other in any other class.
This represents hardware components that do not fall into other predefined categories i.e. other than processors, memory modules, temperature sensors, fans, voltage sensors, power supplies, network cards, disk controllers, physical disks and logical disks.
Parameters

Status
|
Status of the "other device".
Example: “OK” or “Alarm!! This device is no longer detected”.
|
Values:
OK; Warning; Alarm
|
Warning = “!”
Alarm = “
|
Locator
|
Helps to physically locate a component.

Usage Count
|
Number of times the device has been used.

 | "Status" is a text parameter that describes the overall status of the corresponding device or sensor. Alert conditions describe in symbolic terms what occurs in the "Status" parameter when thresholds are breached: one exclamation mark triggers a warning; two exclamation marks raise an alarm. |
Example
If BPM Express for Hardware detects that manufacturer-specified thresholds for the “other device” have been breached, the Status parameter will report “Alarm! This device has degraded.” or “Alarm!! This device is no longer detected”, or as may be the case. The history graph shows the exact details of the problem, its consequences and recommended actions.
