Figure: 6 setup window – Warnings tab
If the “activate warning system” check box is selected, the software will generate
warnings and status messages. These messages will be saved in the displayed
directory with the shown file ending. By default this is
/home/wera/SystemMonitor/outbox/. If you want to use a different directory or file
ending, you may manually edit the configuration file setup.txt. But this is not
recommended, because the standard WERA warning system will handle messages in
the default directory only.
For each site a unique site name should be used to be able to identify, which WERA
station send out the message. It is recommended to use the same site name for all
parts of the warning system.
With the check boxes in the “warning Selection” group box the user can select what
kind of warnings should be generated.
The “Priority”, “Recipients” and “Message” list boxes may be filled with customized
values, but should normally kept at default values.
The “Source” parameter should normally not be modified, but this would also manually
be possible in the configuration file setup.txt.
For more information about the meaning of these parameters read the document
“Manual-SystemMonitor-131017.pdf” or a later version, which describes the warning
system on server side.
Note that there are buttons to reset the parameters to default or generate a test
message.
If you finished configuring the software, click on “save” to save your settings or on
“save and close” to close the setup window. If you want to discard your changes, then
click on “close setup”.
