The console server offers many more advanced functions including:
The Alerts & Logging: Alerts facility monitors serial ports, hosts, user logins,
UPSes (Uninterruptible Power Supplies), RPCs (Remote Power Controllers, such as
PDUs and IPMI devices) and EMDs (Environmental Monitoring Devices). A broad
selection of trigger events (such data patterns, temperature or battery levels) can
be specified. When triggered, a warning email, SMS, Nagios or SNMP alert is sent
to a nominated destination.
Extensive management of UPSes and RPCs using open source
tools. The Manage: Power facility enables both administrators and regular users
to monitor and control attached PDU power strips, and servers with embedded
IPMI BMCs.
You can connect EMDs to any serial port (with an adapter) and remotely monitor
the temperature, humidity, physical access, smoke alarms, etc. Details are
provided in the
Historical logs of all communications with serial and network attached devices,
system activity, UPS and PDU power status, environmental status, etc. The level of
logging is set as ports and devices are configured, Alerts & Logging: Port Log
allows this history to be saved locally or remotely. Logs can be viewed from the
Status and Manage menus.
