SSH Keys
As each device is discovered, the credentials listed will be tried on it until one set is found to work.
This set will be saved as the working credentials for that device.

Private Key
Polling
Polling parameters allow you to customize how often a device or hardware within PerleVIEW’s
database will be polled for status, health or reachability.

Operator
Credentials
Use operator login depending on the privilege level that the users has on the
target device. These credentials are used to log into the device. (example
Direct management of the device using Telnet).
Configure up to 10 Operator user names and passwords that PerleVIEW will
validate against the device until a valid pair is found.
The target device must have SSH keys enabled in order to use SSH Keys.
You would then be logged into the device using a SSH private/public key
pair. PerleVIEW will SSH to each device using each of the configured SSH
user and associated private key until a valid match is found. The device must
have the correct SSH public key configured for successful authentication.
The device polling task will run immediately with the startup of PerleVIEW.
You can set how often PerleVIEW will attempt to communicate to the
device to see if the device is still reachable.
Sets how often PerleVIEW checks for any outstanding alarm conditions on
each device. See Health Status Panel for more information.
Sets how often PerleVIEW checks the Media converter port link status for
each hardware port. The media converter link port status results (up or
down) can be viewed under Group Views -> Hardware -> Ports.
Set the time to run a Rediscover devices task on all devices and hardware.
The re-discovery task will go through all existing devices in the database and
attempt to re-validate credentials, collect hardware health, reachability and
link statuses. This task will not discover new devices. To discover new
devices run a Device Discovery task instance.
