SNMPv3 support is here!

05/19/2015 - 19:25

The SNMP v3 is now supported in all the Poseidon2 units. This is a major update that brings many advantages and improvements. The following text will explain...

In addition to basic functions, such as providing a concise overview of the states and current readings of detectors and sensors, the SensDesk portal can plot the history of the measured values in graphs. Graphs in SensDesk can be also used for additional analyses.

The My Graph function allows to create graphs with sensors of different quantities connected to different devices. For example, it is possible to plot a chart of all temperature sensors connected to your Poseidon2 4002, and leave out any other sensors or devices.

This function is beneficial in the long-term in cost optimization. For example, let us consider several server rooms. In one of the rooms, A/C fails or the door remains open. In a graph, it is possible to see the effects of this incident on the temperature, and thus on the operational costs of maintaining proper conditions.

Working with graphs in SensDesk is similar to working with device groups, locations or user-defined dashboards. To work with graphs, use the Graphs item in the menu. There, you can see an overview of your graphs. To add a new graph, click the Create new My Graph icon.

Specify a name for the graph and select the sensors to show. Sensors are selected in a way similar to sublocations – first click a device name to display the sensors connected to that device, and then select sensors. Selected sensors are highlighted in blue and also shown in the pane at the right-hand side.

After saving, the graph page appears. After a little while, the data are plotted.

Users of SensDesk Technology can create one My Graph. If more are needed, users are advised to contact their distributor and agree on the conditions of using extended SensDesk functions, such as increased number of supported devices, extended datalog length or increased number of custom dashboards or graphs.
