Monitor Server Accessibility

You can monitor whether specific IT devices are alive by having the HPDU device continuously ping them. An IT device's successful response to the ping commands indicates that the IT device is still alive and can be remotely accessed. This function is especially useful when you are not located in an area with Internet connectivity.

The HPDU can monitor the accessibility of any IT device, such as database servers, remote authentication servers, and power distribution units (HPDUs), and supports monitoring a maximum of 8 devices.

The default ping settings might not be suitable for monitoring devices that require high connection reliability and so it is recommended that you adjust the ping settings for optimal results.


Note -  To make the HPDU automatically log, send notifications or perform other actions for any server monitoring events, you can create event rules.
