The severity of the most serious alarm condition at a device.

Note: You can select a device in the Device View to access information about its alarms in the Active Alarms view.

Monitored SNMP devices typically report three status conditions:

Normal: no alarm conditions exist.

Warning, a condition exists that may require attention to make sure it does not deteriorate into a critical state. For example, a UPS that is running on battery power during a power failure will shut down its load equipment if its battery power is depleted before power returns to normal.

Critical: a condition exists that requires immediate attention. For example, a discharged battery can result in the loss of UPS protection during a power failure.

NetBotz Appliances typically report two status conditions, in addition to Normal:

Error: a sensor threshold violation exists that requires immediate attention. For example, a high temperature violation that could lead to equipment damage.

Failure: an operational failure exists that requires immediate attention. For example, communication with a camera pod was lost which could lead to an undetected security violation.

Note: The status reported for alert threshold violations can be defined by the severity settings for each threshold. For example, a door sensor can be set to report Informational status for an open door.

The hostname, or IP address, if no hostname is defined, for a monitored SNMP device or NetBotz Appliance.

Note: A Hostname is provided for SNMP devices monitored by NetBotz Appliances, but not for non-SNMP devices such as sensor and camera pods.

The IP address used by a monitored SNMP device or NetBotz Appliance.

Note: An IP Address is provided for SNMP devices monitored by NetBotz Appliances, but not for non-SNMP devices such as sensor and camera pods.
