Pod and Alert Settings Tasks
The tasks available from the Pod/Sensors Settings portion of the panel enable you to configure the
pods and sensors that are connected to your appliance and to configure the alert actions and policies
that will be used when alerts are reported by your sensors. It also features the Device Crawlers task,
which enables you to configure your appliance to monitor SNMP target devices on your network.

The following tasks are available from the Pod/Sensors Settings portion of the Configuration panel:
• Alert Action: Use the Alert Action task to configure specific alert notification actions that will
be taken by the appliance in response to alert conditions. Alert actions specify a notification
method (such as sending e-mail or posting to web server) and provide the necessary information
to direct the alert notification to the specified recipient (such as e-mail addresses or the address
of your web server).

• Alert Profile: Use the Alert Profile task to customize your appliance’s alert notification policy.
The alert notification policy determines which alert actions are taken in response to alert
conditions, when those actions are taken, and how often they are repeated

• Camera Pods: Use the Camera Pods task to configure any integrated cameras or Camera Pod
120s or CCTV Adapter Pod 120s that are connected to your appliance. You can specify labels
for each of your pods, set sensor thresholds, specify the visual mode use by the camera, set
image capture settings, configure the camera motion sensor, and apply motion masks to the
camera motion sensor. This task will be available only in one or more Camera Pod 120s or
CCTV Adapter Pod 120s are connected to your appliance.

• Device Crawlers: Use Device Crawlers to monitor individual remote SNMP targets (such as
servers, routers, and switches) for critical status information, enabling you to identify and
resolve problems faster. With Basic Device Crawlers (included with your appliance), you can
configure your appliance to periodically check the operating condition of up to 48 SNMP
targets. If any operational difficulties are noted on a monitored target the appliance can generate
an alert notification, enabling you to quickly address the problem. Advanced Device Crawlers
(a license key-based add-on application, available for purchase separately) extends the
capabilities of Basic Device Crawlers to provide far more detailed device-specific information
and to enable OID-specific monitoring and alerting.

• IPMI Devices: Use the IPMI Devices task to add network-attached, Intelligent Platform
Management Interface-enabled devices to the list of devices that are monitored by your NetBotz
appliance. The Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) standard defines a hardware
and software management interface and implementation that provide different hardware
platforms with compatible server management and control functions. The IPMI standard is
promoted and supported by over 150 server manufacturers.

• Output Control: Use the Output Control task to configure any output control devices (such as
Output Relay Pod 120s or Power Control Pods) that are connected to your appliance. You can
specify labels for each of your pods, set relay thresholds, and configure the external relay ports
on the Output Relay Pod 120 and power outlets on the Power Control Pod. This task will be
