RELAY OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
Following are the operating characteristics of the relay output:
DSWatchEventEditor
The Digital Sentry WatchDog Service is a Windows service that monitors various aspects of the DS system and performs an action (such as
logging an error and opening a FlashGuard relay) when there is a potential need for human intervention. Digital Sentry WatchDog Service
monitors a set of Windows Event Logs. DSWatchEventEditor is an application used to specify which Event Logs are monitored and selects
specific events to watch in those logs.
The DSWatchEventEditor application contains two lists: the Computer Name/Event Log list includes all event logs to monitor on specific
computers, and the Source/Event ID list includes all specific events to monitor from specific sources. Each list contains pairs of corresponding
entries.
To create the lists, complete the following steps:
1. Enter the Computer Name of the computer containing the event log you want to monitor. To select the local system, you can omit the
Computer Name.
2. Enter the Event Log (usually “System” or “Application”).
3. To add the value pair to the list, click Add. To remove a value pair from the list, select the pair and click Remove.
4. Repeat until all Computer Name/Event Log pairs are specified.
5. Enter the Source of an event, as listed in the Event Log.
6. Enter the Event ID of the event, as listed in the Event Log.
7. To add a new value pair to the list, enter the values and click Add. To remove a value pair from the list, select the existing values and click
Remove.
8. Repeat until all Source/Event ID pairs are specified.
9. When finished, click Update and exit the program. To cancel changes, click Cancel to exit the program.
If one of the Event Logs in the Computer Name/Event Log list logs an event with a source and ID that matches a pair in the Source/Event ID list,
Digital Sentry WatchDog Service logs the event on the DS server and opens a FlashGuard relay.
RAID IP ADDRESSES
This section of DSWatchEventEditor allows you to enter the IP addresses of VSAN storage units that you want to monitor. Type in the IP address
of a VSAN and click Add. Repeat for each VSAN unit. When finished, click Update and exit the program.
