[Check Device Management Information Retrieval] (Only when SMTP is the protocol for communication with the Remote Monitoring Server)
Check whether the devices registered to this software support the function for sending data to the Remote Monitoring Server.
This task is executed at the following timing in addition to the specified execution cycle.
When device information is imported from an RDS Plug-in settings file
When a device discovered on the following page is added
[Devices] menu > [Monitored Device List] > [Manage Devices] > [Managed Devices] tab
When [Check Functionality] is clicked on the following page
[Devices] menu > [Monitored Device List] > click [Device ID] > [Device Details] page
[Devices] menu > [Monitored Device List] > [Manage Devices] > [Managed Devices] tab > click [Device ID] > [Device Details] page
Tasks without Configurable Execution and Execution Cycle
Counter monitoring
Various counter information is retrieved from the device every eight hours. For information on the retrieved information, see the following.
Status monitoring
Various status information is retrieved from the device every five minutes. For information on the retrieved information, see the following.
Log monitoring
Various log information is retrieved from the device every five minutes. For information on the retrieved information, see the following.
Event management
Event notification is sent to the device every five minutes in order to receive the events issued by the device.
Power state management
Notifications on the power state of the device are always received.
When HTTPS is used as the protocol for communication with the Remote Monitoring Server, the power state of devices with [CCA] selected for [Monitoring Method] cannot be managed.
NOTE |
Counter monitoring, status monitoring, and log monitoring tasks are executed by this software with load distribution to reduce the load on the CPU of the computer. |
