Sensor Settings

After you have selected an IPMI-enabled device from the IPMI Devices view and clicked Sensors, the

Sensor Configuration window opens. Use the Sensor Configuration window specify a unique

identification label for a sensor, to specify the total amount of data from the selected sensor that will be

preserved on the appliance, and create or modify thresholds for each sensor which, if violated, will result

in an alert condition being reported to the appliance.

The Sensor Configuration window is divided into two selection lists: Sensors and Thresholds. Any

monitored values that are available from the selected IPMI-enabled device are listed in the Sensors

selection list. Once you select a sensor from the Sensors selection list any thresholds that have been

defined for the selected sensor appear in the Thresholds selection list.

To specify a label for a sensor, or to specify the total amount of time that data reported by a selected

sensor should be stored on the appliance:

1. Select from the Sensors selection list the sensor you want to modify.

2. Click Modify to open the Modify Sensor window.

3. Type in the Label field a label to identify this sensor. This label can be up to 64 characters in length,

and will be used to identify the sensor in the Sensor Data pane, Advanced View interfaces, and in

alert notifications.

4. Select from the Sensor Value History drop box the total amount of time that data reported by this

sensor should be stored on the appliance. The total amount of data available on the appliance affects

the maximum amount of data that can be graphed (for more information see “Viewing Graphs” on

page 51).

5. Click OK to save the new Sensor values. Click Cancel to close this window without saving any

changes.

Scan Interval Specify how frequently the appliance should query IPMI device

for data.

Note: You can force the appliance to do a scan at any time by

click Scan Now in the IPMI Device Configuration window.
