Use the icons in the Pod/Sensors Settings area of the Configuration view to configure the pods and sensors connected to your appliance and configure the alert actions and policies that are used when alerts are reported by sensors.

Note: The icons that appear in the Pod/Sensor Settings area depend on how your system is configured. It is possible that not all icons discussed in this chapter will appear in your Pod/ Sensor Settings area.

Alert Action

Use the Alert Action icon to define Alert Actions.

Pre-configured alert actions

Your appliance comes with pre-configured alert actions. To use the pre-configured alert actions, edit the alert action to provide the information that is required to complete the alert action.

Available alert notification methods

An alert action consists of a single alert notification method and any specific information necessary to deliver the notification. Your appliance supports the following alert notification methods:

Activate Button Output: Generates an output relay that is defined as a Button Relay.

Note: This alert notification method is designed for use only with output switch devices.

Call Web Services Alert Receiver: Sends alert data to a web server implementing the NetBotz Web Services Alert Receiver.

Play Audio Alert: Plays a description of the alert in spoken English.

Play Custom Audio Alert: Plays a user-specified audio clip. Audio clips are uploaded to the appliance using the Custom Audio Clip icon.

For information about Custom Audio Clips, see “Custom Audio Clips” on page 75.

Send Custom HTTP GET: Delivers alert notifications as custom HTTP GET commands. The URL generated from the alert action is user-definable, and can include BotzWare macro values.

Send Custom Text File to FTP Server: Sends a customized text file with user-specified content to an FTP server. Use macros supported by BotzWare to define the name of the directory on the server in which custom text files are stored and the base filename used for the text files.

Send Data to FTP Server: Sends an alert notification with information about the alert to an FTP server. Use macros supported by BotzWare to define the name of the directory on the server in which data files are stored and the base filename used for FTP data files.

Send E-mail:Sends an alert notification e-mail with information about the alert to one or more e-mail recipients. The alert notification e-mail can include images captured by a camera pod, a graph, and a map of the sensor-specific data associated with the alert.
