7. Alerts, Auto-Response and Logging This chapter describes the automated response, alert generation and logging features of the console server. The Auto-Response facility extends on the basic Alert facility available in earlier (pre-V3.5) firmware revisions. With autoresponse, the console server monitors selected serial ports, logins, the power status and environmental monitors and probes for check condition triggers. The console server will then initiate a sequence of actions in response to these triggers. All console server models can also maintain log records of all access and communications with the console server and the attached serial devices. A log of all system activity is maintained as well as history of the status of any attached environmental monitors. Some models can also log access and communications with network-attached hosts and maintain a history of the UPS and PDU power status. • If port logs are to be maintained on a remote server, then the access path to this location needs to be configured. To do so, activate and set the desired levels of logging for each serial and/or network port (refer to section7.6 Logging) and/or section 8. Power, Environment and Digital I/O UPS. 7.1 Configure Auto-Response With the Auto-Response feature, a sequence of trigger actions is initiated in the event of a specified trigger condition (check condition). Subsequent resolve actions can also be performed when the trigger condition has been resolved. To configure, first set the general parameters that will be applied to all auto-responses: • Check Log Events on Alerts & Logging: Auto-Response to enable logging all auto-response activities. • Check Delay After Boot to set any general delay to be applied after console server system boot before processing events. To configure a new auto-response: • Select New Auto-Response in the Configured Auto-Response field. You will be presented with a new Auto-Response Settings menu. • Enter a unique Name for the new auto-response. • Specify the Reset Timeout for the time in seconds after resolution to delay before this Auto-Response can be triggered again. • Check Repeat Trigger Actions to continue to repeat trigger action sequences until the check is resolved. 129
