ALERTS AND LOGGING
Introduction
This chapter describes
the automated response, alert generation
and logging features of the console
server.
The new Auto-Response facility (in firmware V3.5.1 and later) extends on the basic Alert facility available
in earlier firmware revisions. With the new facility the console server monitors selected serial ports, logins,
the power status and environmental monitors and probes for Check Condition triggers. The console
server will then initiate a sequence of actions in response to the triggers. To configure you:
in earlier firmware revisions. With the new facility the console server monitors selected serial ports, logins,
the power status and environmental monitors and probes for Check Condition triggers. The console
server will then initiate a sequence of actions in response to the triggers. To configure you:
• set general parameters (Section 7.1), then
• select and configure the Check Conditions i.e. the conditions that will trigger the response
• select and configure the Check Conditions i.e. the conditions that will trigger the response
(Section 7.2) , then
• specify the Trigger Actions i.e. sequence of actions initiated in the event of the trigger condition
(Section 7.3), then
• specify the Resolve Actions i.e. actions performed when trigger conditions have been resolved
(Section 7.4)
All console server models can maintain log records of all access and communications with the console
server and with the attached serial devices. A log of all system activity is also maintained as is a history of
the status of any attached environmental monitors.

Some models also log access and communications with network attached hosts and maintain a history of

• If port logs are to be maintained on a remote server, then the access path to this location needs
to be configured Then you need to activate and set the desired levels of logging for each serial
and/or network port (Section 7.6) and/or power and environment UPS (refer Chapter 8)

Configure Auto-Response
With the Auto-Response facility, a sequence of Trigger Actions is initiated in the event of a specified
trigger condition (Check Condition). Subsequent Resolve Actions can also be performed when the trigger
condition has been resolved.
trigger condition (Check Condition). Subsequent Resolve Actions can also be performed when the trigger
condition has been resolved.
To configure, first set the general parameters that will be applied to all Auto-Responses:
Check Log Events on Alerts & Logging: Auto-Response to enable logging all Auto-
Response activities
Check Delay after Boot to set any general delay to be applied after console server system
boot, before processing events
