Description
|
KM Settings
|
Displays all the command options for different monitoring settings
|
KM Settings > Alert Actions
|
Enables you to select the Alert Actions (different methods of notification) to be executed by Hardware Sentry when a parameter breaches its threshold
|
KM Settings > Missing Device Detection
|
Enables/Disables missing device detection. By default, Hardware Sentry detects "missing devices" i.e. devices previously monitored but which have disappeared during the monitoring or after a reboot or due to some other cause
|
KM Settings > Intrusion Detection Alerts
|
Allows you to decide when an intrusion detection alert for the enclosure/ systems chassis should be raised. The IntrusionStatus parameter of each enclosure object discovered by Hardware Sentry reports whether or not the chassis has been opened, and triggers an alarm as per user settings.
|
KM Settings > Automatic ErrorCount Reset
|
Enables you to schedule the automatic reset of the ErrorCount parameter of a specific device.
|
KM Settings > Discovery Interval
|
Enables you to customize the discovery cycle. By default, discovery is performed every hour
|
KM Settings > Polling Interval
|
Enables you to customize the polling cycle. By default, the polling interval is done every 2 minutes
|
KM Settings > Java Settings
|
Enables you to define which Java instance is to be used by Hardware Sentry
|
KM Settings > Debug
|
Activates or deactivates the debug mode. The debug Mode displays debug messages in the PATROL System Output Window or saves it in a file if you enter the file path.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings
|
Enables you to perform additional settings such as restoring device monitoring, displaying settings for UNIX Console and enabling/disabling debug mode.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Threshold Mechanism Selection
|
Allows you to select the threshold mechanism:
| • | Automatic (by default): Hardware Sentry determines the mode of threshold management best suited to the system. The different modes are: |
| • | Tuning: Hardware Sentry uses the internal PATROL mechanism to set thresholds |
| • | PCM/Event Management: Hardware Sentry automatically sets thresholds through PCM/Event Management |
| • | No thresholds: Hardware Sentry does not set any thresholds and lets you specify them manually. |
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Unknown Status Management
|
Enables you to set actions to be performed when Hardware Sentry is unable to detect the status of a monitored device.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Restore Device or Sensor Monitoring
|
Brings up the "Restore Device or Sensor Monitoring" wizard to restore one or several objects after their monitoring has been stopped
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings
> Display Settings for Unix Consoles
|
Gives you the option to turn on the UNIX console mode and modify all object labels to fit the PATROL UNIX Console label size.
|
KM Settings > Additional Settings > Internal KM Issues Notification
|
Allows you to enable/disable and select the type of information messages displayed by Hardware Sentry in the system output window of the PATROL Console.

Allows you to tune the numeric thresholds obtained from a manufacturer’s agent, or the default thresholds used by Hardware Sentry. You can increase or decrease threshold values by a given percentage for each numeric parameter.
|
This System’s Settings > Default Power Wattage
|
Allows you to manually enter the electricity consumption for a specific device.
|
Trigger a Discovery
|
Enables you to trigger a forced discovery and rediscover the hardware devices on the monitored host.
|
Remove this System
|
Removes the remote system added to the monitoring.
|
Add a Remote System or an External Device
|
Enables you to monitor another system or an external device remotely using either SNMP or WMI.
|
Reporting

Provides access to various hardware inventory and reports.
|
Reporting > Hardware Inventory
|
Instantly generates a hardware health report for the entire managed system
|
Reporting > Schedule Hardware Inventory
|
Enables you to schedule automated hardware inventory on an hourly, daily, weekly or monthly basis.
|
Reporting > Ethernet/Fiber Port Traffic Report
|
Enables you to generate a report showing usage statistics returned by a specific ethernet/fiber port
