Check_MK rack1 Mark III - Manual 16 / 61

7. Device settings

In this dialogue box you can change the default configuration of the device. All settings will become
effective immediately after saving.

7.1 Changing the language

During the basic configuration, you specified the language of your device. You can change this at any
time, either via the console configuration or via the device settings in the web interface.
7.2 Changing the network configuration
During the basic configuration, you specified the network configuration of your device. You can change
this at any time, either via the console configuration or via the device settings in the web interface. If
you made an error when specifying the network configuration, the device may no longer be accessible
via the network. In this case you can only correct the settings on the console.
7.3 Configuring host and domain names
Host and domain names serve to identify a computer in the network. When sending emails for example,
these names are used to form the sender address. In addition, the configured host name is added as a
source host to all log entries that are sent to a syslog server. This makes it easier to assign the entries.
7.4 Configuring name resolution
In most environments, DNS servers are used to translate IP addresses into host names and vice versa.
Host names or FQDNs (Fully Qualified Domain Names) are frequently used for monitoring instead of IP
addresses.
In order to use the name resolution on your device, you must configure the IP addresses of at least one
DNS server in your environment. It is recommended to enter at least two DNS servers.
Only when you have configured this option can you use host and domain names (in the configuration of
NTP or mail servers for example).
