5.5Events and actions (advanced configuration)

Basic principles:

Network Shutdown Module receives events (e.g. Utility Failure) from the UPS and in reply to these events executes actions (e.g. notification, e-mail, etc.).

The above interface allows links between events and actions to be configured, as well as customizing protection for the machine hosting Network Shutdown Module.

events / actions

This very powerful tool enables the Network Shutdown Module behaviour to be modified intuitively. Modifying events and actions is only necessary if you require your protection module to operate in a particular way. The default configuration ensures optimal protection of your installation. Modifying parameters must therefore be done with care as it could compromise the protection of your installation.

This advanced settings is described in appendix
