Advanced View: Configuring Pods and Alerts

Using Your Appliance 99

To configure a threshold, select the sensor for which you will create a threshold from the Sensors

selection list. Any previously configured thresholds for the selected sensor appear in the Thresholds

selection list. All sensors have a default, pre-configured threshold that will be generated automatically by

the Advanced View. This predefined threshold provides the most typical threshold that would be used for

the specific sensor type. However, thresholds are highly customizable and configurable, enabling you to

create a wide variety of thresholds to suit your needs. Sensor thresholds are explained in detail in

“Advanced View: Defining Thresholds” on page 141.

To enable or modify a predefined sensor threshold:

1. Select a sensor from the Sensor selection list.

2. A list of currently defined thresholds for the selected sensor appears in the Thresholds selection

list. Select the threshold you wish to enable or modify from the Thresholds selection list.

3. Click Edit....

4. The Edit Threshold window appears.

– To enable the threshold, check the Enabled check box.

– To change threshold settings, use the controls in the Edit Threshold window to set new values as

desired.

Click OK to save your new threshold settings. Click Cancel to close the Edit Threshold window without

saving any changes.

External Ports

After you have selected a Sensor Pod 120 or integrated Sensor Pod from the Sensor Pods window and

clicked External Ports, the External Port Configuration window opens. To specify the type of external

sensors that are connected to each of the external sensor ports, and to specify a label for each of these

sensors, select from the Sensor Type Installed drop box (located beside the External Sensor Port ID)

the specific external sensor that is connected to each port. If desired, type in the Port Label field a label

that will be used to uniquely identify the Sensor Pod 120 and port to which it is connected. When you

have finished, click OK to save your new threshold settings. Click Cancel to close the Edit Threshold

window without saving any changes.

From time to time, NetBotz certifies new external sensor types available for use with your appliance. To

add new sensor definitions to the selectable list of sensor types, click Update Sensor Definitions. You

can then choose to either download a list of current sensor definitions from the NetBotz web site, or load

a sensor definition list from a file on your system.

Note

The controls that are available in the Edit Threshold window are determined by

the type of threshold that you are creating or editing. For detailed instructions on

how to create or edit thresholds, see “Advanced View: Defining Thresholds” on

page 141.
