Monitoring Your BlackArmor Server
Monitoring Your BlackArmor Server
BlackArmor Manager and the BlackArmor server itself provide many ways to monitor the server’s
activity and status:
• Monitoring Status with the Server’s LCD Screen
• Monitoring Status with the Server’s LEDs
• Using Email Alerts to Monitor Server Status
• Checking Disk Drive Status Using SMART
Monitoring Status with the Server’s LCD Screen
Your BlackArmor server has an LCD screen on the front that displays current server setting and
status information.
Use the LCD screen navigation buttons beside the screen to scroll up and down through the
information. Press and hold the button for the selected information to view more detail.
When an “event” occurs on the server—for instance, if you change a setting on the server, or if
an error (such as the loss of a network connection or the failure of a disk drive) occurs—basic
details about the event appear on the LCD screen. If an error has occurred, details about the
error remain on the screen until the problem has been fixed.
Monitoring Status with the Server’s LEDs
Your BlackArmor server has eight LEDs to help you monitor the status of its components. (See
the illustration on page 10 for help locating the LEDs.)
