State Mismatch For Time Threshold

A state mismatch for time threshold is defined by specifying both a “normal” state for the sensor and a

maximum time permitted value. If any state other than the normal state is reported by the sensor for more

than the maximum amount of time permitted an alert condition is reported.

To define an alert state mismatch for time threshold:

1. Start the Camera Pods, Sensor Pods, or Device Crawlers task by double-clicking on the appropriate

icon.

2. Click Sensors... to open the Sensor Configuration window.

3. Select from the Sensors selection list the sensor for which you will define a threshold. A list of

thresholds that have been previously defined for the selected sensor, if any, appears in the

Thresholds selection list.

4. Click Add... to open the Select Threshold window. Select State Mismatch Threshold and then

click OK to close the Select Threshold window.

5. Type in the Threshold Name field a name for this threshold.

6. Specify Basic threshold settings. From the Basic tab in the Thresholds pane:

a. Select from the Normal State drop box the state that is the normal operational state for the

device. If any state other than the selected “normal” state is reported by the sensor an alert

condition is generated.

b. Type in the Time Allowed in Alert State field (or use the arrows in the field to specify) the

number of seconds that the reported value can be in a state other than the selected Normal State

before an alert condition is generated.

c. Check the Enabled check box to enable the threshold. If this check box is not checked, the alert

threshold will be saved but will not be active.

d. Add to the Threshold-Specific Addresses list the e-mail addresses of any personnel to whom e-

mail alert notifications should be sent if this threshold triggers an alert condition. Click Add...,

type in the e-mail address to which the alert notification will be sent, and then click OK.

If you’ve installed an SMS-capable modem you can deliver alert notification to SMS-enabled

devices by entering threshold-specific addresses for them in the following format:

sms:sms_device_address

Note

This threshold type is not available for use on NetBotz 320 appliances.
