device.

To remove previously created IPMI devices from the IPMI Devices selection list, select one (or more) 
IPMI-enabled device from the list and then click Remove.

After you have selected an IPMI-enabled device from the IPMI Devices view and clicked Sensors, the 
Sensor Configuration window opens. Use the Sensor Configuration window specify a unique 
identification label for a sensor, to specify the total amount of data from the selected sensor that will be 
preserved on the appliance, and create or modify thresholds for each sensor which, if violated, will result 
in an alert condition being reported to the appliance. 

The Sensor Configuration window is divided into two selection lists: Sensors and Thresholds. Any 
monitored values that are available from the selected IPMI-enabled device are listed in the Sensors 
selection list. Once you select a sensor from the Sensors selection list any thresholds that have been 
defined for the selected sensor appear in the Thresholds selection list.

To specify a label for a sensor, or to specify the total amount of time that data reported by a selected 
sensor should be stored on the appliance:

1. Select from the Sensors selection list the sensor you want to modify.

2. Click Modify to open the Modify Sensor window.

3. Type in the Label field a label to identify this sensor. This label can be up to 64 characters in length, 

and will be used to identify the sensor in the Sensor Data pane, Advanced View interfaces, and in 
alert notifications.

4. Select from the Sensor Value History drop box the total amount of time that data reported by this 

sensor should be stored on the appliance. The total amount of data available on the appliance affects 
the maximum amount of data that can be graphed (for more information see “Viewing Graphs” on 
page 51).

5. Click OK to save the new Sensor values. Click Cancel to close this window without saving any 

changes.

Scan Interval

for data.
Note: You can force the appliance to do a scan at any time by 
click Scan Now in the IPMI Device Configuration window.

If the selected sensor does not support configuration of thresholds a message 
advising you of this appears in the Thresholds area of the interface.
