InfraStruXure Central 4.1 User’s Reference
The Device Selection pane functions as a status monitoring view for the currently selected device group. 
If a monitored device in the currently selected device group reports an alert, the device will turn red in the 
Device Selection pane. If the device has gone offline it will be “grayed out” and will have a large red X 
over its icon. This can be used to simplify troubleshooting and to quickly identify trouble spots.
The Device Selection pane also supports filters. You can use filters to quickly and easily limit the devices 
that are displayed in the Device Selection pane. Because the contents of the Device Selection pane 
determine what devices are displayed in the various Action/Information pane views (i.e. the Map, Table, 
Alert, Graph/Report, Mass Configuration, and Surveillance Views), by filtering the contents of the 
Device Selection pane you also filter the contents of all of the other panes as well.
The Action/Information Pane
Located on the right-hand side of the interface, the Action/Information pane contains a series of buttons 
that enable you to view information and perform mass configuration tasks on the devices in the currently 
selected device group, or the devices that are currently selected in the Device Selection pane. Also, if you 
have selected a filter from the Filters drop box in the Device Selection pane then the results will be further 
reduced according to the filter settings. Each button, when selected, presents a different view in the 
Action/Information pane. The Action/Information pane features 6 buttons:
Pane View 
Description 
Map View
Devices are displayed as icons. Current reading reported by a 
selected sensor is displayed for each appliance. The default 
sensor that is currently selected is shown above the Map View in 
the center of the Action/Information pane. Current status can 
also be indicated with sensor imaging. If you select one or more 
appliances from the Device Selection pane, the icons for the 
selected appliances are selected in the Map view as well.
Table View
Devices are displayed in a table. Problems, such as appliance 
outages or alert conditions are indicated by a user-defined color 
(red by default) in the appropriate field. If you select one or 
more devices from the Device Selection pane the entries for the 
selected appliances in the Table view are selected as well.
Alert View 
Enables you to easily view all alerts that have been generated by 
devices in the currently selected device group. Alerts that 
contain picture data can also be viewed, provided that the alert 
has been posted to the InfraStruXure Central server using the 
device HTTP post support or by using the Send to InfraStruXure 
Central or Send HTTP Post alert actions, available using the 
Alert Action task. If you select one or more devices from the 
Device Selection pane any appliances from the device group to 
which the selected devices belong that have reported alerts on 
the date selected in the Alerts view will be listed in the Alerts 
View. If a device appears in the Alert View but cannot be 
selected (and is “grayed out”) then no alerts have been posted to 
or collected from the selected appliance on the selected date.
