on devices quantity. In case of significant device count, the resulted time period for one
device polling could be less than minimal polling period. To overcome such issue, the
devices would be grouped, and the polling requests would be performed in parallel to all
devices of each group
2. The devices readiness for the polling is checked. The devices which have been polled
during previous cycle, would be polled foremost. The devices which has not been polled
during the previous cycle, would be scheduled to polling after all the others
3. In case the devices did not reply to polling requests during previous polling cycle, these
devices would be put into the pending list for the next polling cycle
4. All data received from the devices during polling goes into the storage subsystem.

stage it has not yet been added to the monitoring system and will not be displayed in the
common list
2. After a short period of time InfiMONITOR will start the device polling
3. If access to the device via the SNMP protocol has been received, the monitoring system
will receive all the necessary information and then perform its addition
4. If InfiMONITOR could not get access to the device via the SNMP protocol, the polling will
be postponed until the next polling cycle. This process will continue until gaining access
to the device.
To see the pending devices click the "Pending hosts" button
NOTE
If the device is pending for a long time, it can indicate the authentication credentials
are incorrectl and/or the SNMP server has not been started on the device. Check
the settings and correct them if necessary.

InfiMONITOR
Devices
The section "Devices" is used to select devices for the events generation. This section includes
the following parameters:
"Group name" - rules group name
"Assigned hosts" - devices list within the rules group. In order to exclude the device from
the group select it and click the "Remove selected" button or drag it with the mouse from
the "Assigned hosts" list into the "Available hosts" list
"Available hosts" - all available in InfiMONITOR devices. In order to add the device into
the rules group select it and click the "Assign selected" button or drag it with the mouse
from the "Available hosts" list into the "Assigned hosts" list.
NOTE
The devices can be added one by one and a group with a tag. If at least one device
in the section "Network Monitoring"-> "Hosts" has been assigned to at least one tag,
it will be available in the "Available hosts" list. If you want to add the device group
with the exception of some of them, such devices can be placed in the exclusion list.
To do this, find the corresponding devices and select in the " Available hosts" list,
and then click the "Exclude selected" button. Thus, the events will be generated for
all devices with the selected tag, but not for added to the exclusion.
41
InfiMONITOR
Rules
After the devices selection it is necessary to assign the rules with the conditions to generate
events. The rules would be applied only to devices added to the rules group. Proceed to the
section "Rules", which list the following parameters:
42
InfiMONITOR
"Assigned rules" - selected rules list which added to the created rules group. In order to
exclude the rule from the group select it and click the "Remove selected" button or drag
it with the mouse from the "Assigned rules" list into the "Available rules" list
"Available rules" - available rules for InfiMONITOR. In order to add the rule into the
group rules select it and click the "Assign selected" button or drag it with the mouse from
the "Available rules" list into the "Assigned rules" list.
43
InfiMONITOR
Notifications
After the selection of the devices and rules, it is required to choose InfiMONITOR operators to
receive events notification by email. Proceed to the section "Notifications", which has the the
following parameters:
"Assigned users" - list of the users and groups which require notifications. In order to
exclude the user from the group select it and click the "Remove selected" button or drag
it with the mouse from the "Assigned users" list into the "Available users" list
"Available users" - list of all users and groups available in InfiMONITOR. In order to add
the user into the group of rules select it and click the "Assign selected" button or drag it
with the mouse from the "Available users" list into the "Assigned users" list
"Send notifications" - enable/disable notifications for the selected users
"Severity" - the lowest priority for the event to send the notification. Thus, if the severity
is set to "Warning" the users would be notified with the "Warning" and "Critical" priorities.
If the event has the "Info" priority, the notification will not be sent
"Subject" - notification message subject. The text could include variables values with the
event parameters. To get the complete list of all variables click the "?" icon next to the
field
"Body" - the notification text. The text could include variables values with the event
parameters. To get the complete list of all variables click the "?" icon next to the field.
44
InfiMONITOR
45
InfiMONITOR
Click the "Create rule" button to create new rule, the window form with two sections will appear:
"Settings" - common rules parameters
"Condition" - conditions to create event.
The "Settings" section is opened by default, it includes the following fields:
"Rule name" - rule name
"Severity" - priority assigned to the event, created by the rule
"Message" - message created by the event, formed by the rule. The variables replaced
with the real values of the corresponding event parameters can be used in the text. To
get the complete list of possible variables click the "?" icon next to the field
"Description" - rule description
"May be resolved automatically" - the checkbox indicating whether the status of the
event can be automatically changed into "Resolved" in a case of overcoming the
condition which have triggered the event. Such checkbox applicable for reversible
events, for example, communication loss/restore events. When the communication will
restore, and the checkbox is set, then the "Resolved" status would be automatically
assigned. However in a case of irreversible events this checkbox doesn't make any
sense. For example, in case of firmware version upgrade - the event only generate
single notification.
46
InfiMONITOR
The "Condition" section list conditions, which execution will generate event. The "Condition"
section has three components:
47
InfiMONITOR
"The logical operator" - the operators "and", "or" and "not" indicate the parameters
comparison options specified in the condition. Logical operators can be nested into each
other
"And" - the condition will be executed in case the comparison results of all
parameters is true
"Or" - the condition will be executed in case the comparison result of at least one
parameter is true
"Not" - the condition will be executed in case the comparison results of all
parameters is false
"Parameter" - values of the various parameters belonging to device or wireless link,
which can be compared
"The comparison operator" - the operators "empty", "not empty", "equals", "not equal", "
changed", "not changed", "greater than", "greater than or equal to", "less than", "less
than or equal to" indicate comparison option:
"empty" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value is
empty, otherwise - false
"not empty" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value is
not empty, otherwise - false
"equals" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value is
equal to the specified value, otherwise - false
"not equal" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value
isn't equal to the specified value, otherwise - false
"changed" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value
changed in relation to previous, otherwise - false
"not changed" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value
didn't change in relation to previous, otherwise - false
"greater than" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value
is greater than the specified value, otherwise - false
"greater than or equal to" - result of the operator execution will be true if the
parameter value is greater than or equal to specified value, otherwise - false
"less than" - result of the operator execution will be true if the parameter value is
less than the specified value, otherwise - false
"less than or equal to" - result of the operator execution will be true if the
