How to use
On the General and System page, you can find information related to the system.
The CPU, Memory, Hard Disk, Fans, Power, Network, PCIe, and SD Card pages show the overall alarm status for that respective aspect of the system and contain a table with detailed information.
The Sensors and Temperature pages display the detailed sensor readings and thresholds.
The Alarms page contain the Active Alarms Table. This table displays a list of all Active Alarms received from the server. If a de-assert event is received for a specific event, that event will automatically be removed from the table. Note that the connector was developed and tested with the device configured to use "OID" mode for the trap notification settings. We therefore recommend using the connector in combination with the Trap OID mode on the device itself.
On a subpage, the Trap Table is included, where you can view all incoming traps from the server with their raw information. It is possible to limit the number of traps by a maximum number of traps or number of days.
