Monitoring sensors and setting PEFs (platform event flags)
The monitoring sensors screen provides you with information on the status of the various sensors
in the server being monitored. You can set a particular sensor’s PEF configuration to initiate a
specific action, as you designate.
To access the monitoring sensors and set PEFs:
1 From the BMC Web server main screen, click Monitoring Sensors on the left side of the
screen. The Monitoring Sensors screen opens.
The color on the left side of the column indicates the status of the sensor:
• Green—Normal
• Red—Abnormal
2 To change the PEF configuration for an individual sensor, click PEF for the sensor you want
to set. The PEF Configuration screen for that sensor opens.
Important
If this screen has been open for any length of time, you must refresh the
screen to get current readings.
