Usage
General
On this page, the table with all the Media Status DB entries is displayed. Alarm monitoring is possible on many of the columns in the table.
There is a configuration setting available to activate or deactivate Automatically remove the Not Available Entries. You can also remove entries manually by selecting a key in the drop-down list Remove Not Available Entry or by clicking the Remove All Not Available Entries button.
Configuration
On this page you need to fill in the configuration for the media Status probe. Username, Password and Connection String are needed in order to set up the database connection and retrieve the database data.
The value in the Media Alert column on the General page is based on the Media Alert Filter table. This table has a right-click context menu with the options: Add Row, Delete Selected Row(s) and Clear Table. You can also populate this table from a CSV file. To do so, you need to specify the CSV file path and the filename in the Import Table CSV File Full Path parameter, and then click the Set CSV button. All those filters will be taken into account and they will be used based on the Order of Precedence [IDX] (so if a filter matches with Order of Precedence 1, all the higher filters will be ignored and the state will be taken from this first filter).
