Log an Event Message
The option "Log event message" records the selected events in the internal log.
The default log message generated for each type of event is available in the section titled
Default Log
Messages
(on page 189).
Push Out Sensor Readings
You can configure the Legrand PDU to push sensor log to a remote server after a certain event occurs,
including logs of internal sensors, environmental sensors and actuators.
If you have connected Raritan's asset strips to the Legrand PDU, you can also configure the Legrand PDU to
push the data to a server.
Before creating this action, make sure that you have properly defined the destination servers and the data to
be sent on the Data Push page. See
Configuring Data Push Settings
(on page 220).
Tip: To send the data at a regular interval, schedule this action. See
Scheduling an Action
(on page 206).
Note that the "Asset management log" is generated only when there are changes made to any asset strips or
asset tags, such as connection or disconnection events.
Operation:
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules >
.
2. Select "Push out sensor readings" from the Action list.
3. Select a server or host which receives the asset strip data or sensor log in the Destination field.
If the desired destination is not available yet, go to the Data Push page to specify it.
Record Snapshots to Webcam Storage
This option allows you to define an action that starts or stops a specific webcam from taking snapshots.
Per default the snapshots are stored on the Legrand PDU. See
Viewing and Managing Locally-Saved
Snapshots
(on page 253).
It is recommended to specify a remote server to store as many snapshots as possible. See
Changing
Storage Settings
(on page 254).
Operation:
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules >
.
2. Select "Record snapshots to webcam storage" from the Action list.
3. Select a webcam in the Webcam field.
4. Select the action to perform - "Start recording" or "Stop recording."
If "Start recording" is selected, adjust the values of the following:
Number of Snapshots - the number of snapshots to be taken when the event occurs.
The maximum amount of snapshots that can be stored on the Legrand PDU is 10. If you set it for a
number greater than 10 and the storage location is on the Legrand PDU, after the 10th snapshot is
taken and stored, the oldest snapshots are overwritten. Storing snapshots on a remote server does
not have such a limitation.
Time Before First Snapshot - the amount of time in seconds between when the event is triggered and
the webcam begins taking snapshots.
Time Between Snapshots - the amount of time in seconds between when each snapshot is taken.
