Function Details

Function Description
Monitoring Functions Alive monitoring Alive monitoring of devices by pinging the IP address or host name of the set device.
Service monitoring Monitors the open/close status of the network port. Standard ICMP ECHO (ping), FTP, SSH, SMTP, HTTP, POP3, IMAP. Six additional ports can also be configured.
Protocol level monitoring Confirms the details of the reply message for SMTP, POP3, and IMAP.
MRTG Displays graphs of the network traffic, CPU load, physical memory, virtual memory, and hard disk load and usage. You can set the threshold value for these monitoring items and use these as a trigger to receive notification when the threshold value is reached. This function enables you to configure and manage MRTG monitoring, and this can also be configured using the KANSHI BlockS web configuration tool.

* Multi Router Traffic Grapher (MRTG) is software distributed with a GNU General Public License. This software sends an SNMP request to the monitored device and creates a graph based on the obtained data and an HTML-format page that can be viewed with a web browser. The graph output can display data for 1 day, 7 days, 4 weeks, or 12 months. The source code based on the GNU GPL can be distributed to customers purchasing KANSHI BlockS™ Pro. The MRTG package portion of KANSHI BlockS™ Pro can be redistributed and modified under the terms of the GNU GPL.
SNMP Specify the OID and upper and lower values using the SNMP protocol, and receive notification when the actual value exceeds or returns within the specified values.
Supports SNMPv3.
Other functions You can also add and call other web-based monitoring tools.
Settings Host setting Specify the host to be monitored by the IP address or host name (name resolution required), and configure the settings for host operations (such as stopping service) and individual notification (notification content and notification recipient, Syslog, etc.). The number of monitoring hosts is equivalent to Class C (maximum 255 devices).
Syslog server setting Sets the Syslog server to receive the monitoring results log. Up to three servers can be set at the same time.
(When multiple servers are set, the same content is sent to multiple Syslog servers at the same time.)
Mail server setting Sets the SMTP server to receive the monitoring results log. Up to three servers can be made redundant. SMTP authentication is not supported.
(When mail server 1 has no reply or mail is rejected, mail is sent to mail server 2. If mail server 2 has the same situation, mail is sent to mail server 3.)
Mail recipient address setting Sets the address of the recipient to receive the monitoring results mail.
Shared setting: Sends all monitoring results to up to three addresses.
Individual setting: Sends the monitoring results to up to three addresses for each server.
Message setting The subject, name, and notification content can be changed according to the recipient (administrator, operator, user, etc.).
The body of the mail can include the monitoring device, monitoring results, and other information. Japanese can also be used.
Auto text, such as greetings and work instructions, can be added to monitoring results.
Monitoring schedule function Enables schedule settings, such as the time period for performing monitoring.
Monitoring criteria setting Sets the address of the recipient to receive the monitoring results mail.
You can set the criteria for normal and abnormal operation based on the monitoring response time and retries.
Timeout setting: (For example, you can increase the timeout if the connection is poor.)
Retries setting: For example, you can set this so as to treat an operation as a abnormal even if one error occurs or to send notification if errors occur three out of ten times.
Notification condition setting Set whether to send notification to the monitoring results. You can configure individual mail and Syslog settings.
Notification is sent regardless of the "normal" or "abnormal" result for each set monitoring item.
Notification is sent when the result changes, for example, from "normal" to "abnormal" (error occurs) or from "abnormal" to "normal" (restored).
Notification is only set when an error is detected.
This can also be set not to send notification (when you want to keep the setting and stop service).
Pause function You can pause monitoring (for maintenance, etc.).
You can set this to stop monitoring for the specified number of minutes or according to a set schedule.
User interface Web-based interface integrating all operations, from monitoring authorization, mail notification, and MRTG settings to MRTG results display.
Compact Design Palm-sized (81 (W) x 114.5 (D) x 38 (H) mm)
