Using Your Appliance 55

Advanced View: Configuring the

Appliance

The Configuration panel is divided into two areas: Pod/Sensors Settings, and Appliance Settings.

Each area features a number of icons that represent the configuration tasks that you can perform. To

perform a specific configuration task you simply double-click on the appropriate icon.

Pod and Alert Settings Tasks

The tasks available from the Pod/Sensors Settings portion of the panel enable you to configure the

pods and sensors that are connected to your appliance and to configure the alert actions and policies

that will be used when alerts are reported by your sensors. It also features the Device Crawlers task,

which enables you to configure your appliance to monitor SNMP target devices on your network.

The following tasks are available from the Pod/Sensors Settings portion of the Configuration panel:

• Alert Action: Use the Alert Action task to configure specific alert notification actions that will

be taken by the appliance in response to alert conditions. Alert actions specify a notification

method (such as sending e-mail or posting to web server) and provide the necessary information

to direct the alert notification to the specified recipient (such as e-mail addresses or the address

of your web server).

• Alert Profile: Use the Alert Profile task to customize your appliance’s alert notification policy.

The alert notification policy determines which alert actions are taken in response to alert

conditions, when those actions are taken, and how often they are repeated

• Camera Pods: Use the Camera Pods task to configure any integrated cameras or Camera Pod

120s or CCTV Adapter Pod 120s that are connected to your appliance. You can specify labels

for each of your pods, set sensor thresholds, specify the visual mode use by the camera, set

image capture settings, configure the camera motion sensor, and apply motion masks to the

camera motion sensor. This task will be available only in one or more Camera Pod 120s or

CCTV Adapter Pod 120s are connected to your appliance.

• Device Crawlers: Use Device Crawlers to monitor individual remote SNMP targets (such as

servers, routers, and switches) for critical status information, enabling you to identify and

resolve problems faster. With Basic Device Crawlers (included with your appliance), you can

configure your appliance to periodically check the operating condition of up to 48 SNMP

targets. If any operational difficulties are noted on a monitored target the appliance can generate

an alert notification, enabling you to quickly address the problem. Advanced Device Crawlers

(a license key-based add-on application, available for purchase separately) extends the

capabilities of Basic Device Crawlers to provide far more detailed device-specific information

and to enable OID-specific monitoring and alerting.

• IPMI Devices: Use the IPMI Devices task to add network-attached, Intelligent Platform

Management Interface-enabled devices to the list of devices that are monitored by your NetBotz

appliance. The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standard defines a hardware

and software management interface and implementation that provide different hardware

platforms with compatible server management and control functions. The IPMI standard is

promoted and supported by over 150 server manufacturers.

• Output Control: Use the Output Control task to configure any output control devices (such as

Output Relay Pod 120s or Power Control Pods) that are connected to your appliance. You can

specify labels for each of your pods, set relay thresholds, and configure the external relay ports

on the Output Relay Pod 120 and power outlets on the Power Control Pod. This task will be
