    Send Data to FTP Server display

     
    Define the settings for a Send Data to FTP Server alert action on a NetBotz Appliance.

    A name field, severity selections, and the "Alert Action Scheduling" display that all alert action types share, are also available.

    Primary and Backup tabs

    You must define at least the Primary tab elements.

    Note

    The only difference between the two tabs is that the Backup tab includes backup settings.

    Setting Description
    FTP Server Hostname Identify the hostname or IP address of the FTP server that will receive the data.
    User ID Identify the user identification needed to log on to the FTP server.
    Password Identify the password needed to log on to the FTP server.
    Verify Password Retype the password.
    Target Directory Identify the relative directory path to be used to store the data at the FTP server. This should always be a path relative to the default directory associated with the user ID used to log on to the FTP server.

    If the directories on the path do not exist they will be created automatically.

    Note

    This Target Directory field accepts macros.
    Base Filename Identify the base filename to be used for storing the data at the FTP server. Pictures from alerts will be stored in files with this name, followed by the *.n.jpg file extension, where n is the picture number (1, 2, 3, etc.).

    Alert data will be stored in a file with this name, followed by the *.nbalert file extension.

    Advanced tab

    Provides elements that further define what an e-mail can include, as well as an Alert Action Scheduling button that allows you to select when an alert action is enabled (all time periods are enabled, by default).
    Setting Description

    Include a Graph with the Alert Select to include graphs with data sent to an FTP server.
    Include Related Maps with the Alert Select to include related maps with data sent to an FTP server.

    The export options will depend on how the NetBotz Appliance is configured.
