Status Monitor
The job of a Syslog server is to open up a network port and log all Syslog format messages that
are received at the port; in this example from Masterpiece. Usually, messages are recorded
continuously into a file or files on the disk.
The log file may be restricted to a maximum size and can either be used as a circular-buffer or a
new file can be started when the maximum size is exceeded or when a time duration has
passed (e.g. start new file each week or if the file exceeds 10Mbytes).
Logged messages can be color-coded by severity. They can also be filtered and sorted by who
sent them, their severity, time stamp etc.
Setup Menu
The Status Monitor - Setup menu allows the user to set the maximum values for temperature,
voltage and fan warnings before the alarm status is reached.
The default setting for all the alarms is set to 80% of the factory maximum limit.
The warning message can be changed to what ever is needed; the temperature scale can be
changed and the real time clock set.
Synchronize Real Time Clock
The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) is a protocol used to synchronize clocks throughout a
computer network. On a local area network, it achieves clock accuracy in the sub-microsecond
range, making it suitable for measurement and control systems.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) is a simplified, client-only version of NTP. SNTP can
receive only the time from NTP servers; it cannot be used to provide time services to other
systems. SNTP typically provides time within 100 milliseconds of the accurate time, but it does
not provide the complex filtering and statistical mechanisms of NTP. In addition, SNTP does not
authenticate traffic, although you can configure extended access lists to provide some
protection.
