Groups, Device View, or Map View.
1.
Select the sensor type on which you want to add a threshold from the Create
Thresholds option in the Alarm Configuration menu. Alternatively, select a device
group or device in the Alarm Configuration or Monitoring perspective views, and
right-click to select the Create Thresholds option.
2. In the "Select Threshold Type" display, select the threshold type you want to add, and
click Next.
3. In the "Select Sensors" display, select the sensor or sensors for which you want to
add thresholds, and click Next.
4. In the "Create Threshold" display, define the settings, and, if desired, configure when
the StruxureWare Central server will generate notifications if the threshold becomes
active using the Threshold Scheduling button, and click Next.
5. In the "Select Notification Policies" display, select the notification policies to which you
want to add the alarm threshold, and click Finish to exit the wizard.
Thresholds and supported devices
Which thresholds can be used for sensors at the monitored devices depends on the type
of device.
For a full SNMP support device or Modbus device monitored by the StruxureWare
Central server, all threshold options except Dew Point can be used to define threshold
settings the StruxureWare Central server will monitor for that device. These thresholds are
created using the Create Thresholds option.
Full SNMP support and Modbus devices:
When you create thresholds for full SNMP support and Modbus devices, the threshold
settings you define are set at the StruxureWare Central server, and used to monitor the
associated sensors at those devices.
Note: This can result in two alarms when a threshold you define at the StruxureWare
Central server is violated: one from the SNMP device, and one for the threshold violation
at the StruxureWare Central server.
You can define thresholds for SNMP and Modbus devices to do the following:
• Set the threshold settings that the StruxureWare Central server will monitor for these
devices.
• Select the notification policies the StruxureWare Central server will use for alarm
notifications related to these devices.
NetBotz Appliances:
When you create alert thresholds for a NetBotz Appliance, its sensor pods, camera pods,
and monitored SNMP devices (using Alert Settings, a NetBotz Appliance
Configuration option in the Device menu), the threshold settings are set at the NetBotz
Appliance. It is the NetBotz appliance that stores the settings and sends the alerts to the
StruxureWare Central server.
Note: Because NetBotz Appliance alert profiles are device-specific, you will not be able to
configure the profile for a threshold setting when configuring that setting for multiple
appliances.
Basic and model ID SNMP support devices:
For devices without full SNMP support, you can define supplemental OIDs for sensors at
those devices using Supplemental OIDs, an SNMP Device Communication Settings
