Monitoring

A monitoring reports when devices stay unreachable, and when they are back. You find it under Notifications in the Monitoring tab. Monitorings are stored on the controller and run there; they are the same ones you set up in the nomos System Manager.

The list

• New monitoring: Creates a monitoring.
• Name: The monitoring's name.
• Devices: Which devices it watches.
• Report after: How long a device has to be unreachable before it reports.
• Active: Switches the monitoring on or off at once.
• Actions: Edit and Delete. Once deleted, the monitoring stops at once and reports nothing any more.

Setting up a monitoring

The actions are in the bar at the top: the name on the left, Cancel and Save on the right, for an existing monitoring also Delete.

1. Click New monitoring.
2. Name: "Monitoring" with a running number is suggested. Change it as needed.
3. Status: Leave Active set.
4. Watch: Choose All Devices or Selected devices. With Selected devices, Choose… opens the device selection. There you choose single devices or all devices of a platform, for example All KNX devices; devices added later then belong to it too.
5. Except: With Choose… you except devices or platforms that should not be reported.
6. Report after: How long a device has to be unreachable: 1 to 60 Minutes (at least 5) or Hours.
7. Recipients: Unlike in a profile, push and e-mail share one list here. Everyone (all devices and every user with an e-mail address), Administrators and single users get the report by push notification and by e-mail. Further addresses and Further devices follow; there, All app devices reaches every device by push, without e-mail. At least one recipient is required. A user without the Push Notification permission gets the e-mail only; below them stands without the "Push Notification" permission.
8. Click Save at the top.

What is reported

• If a watched device is unreachable for as long as set under Report after, the monitoring reports it. Once it is back, an all-clear follows, but only if a report was sent before.
• Every report appears as a log message with priority High in the Log. The recipients additionally get it by push notification and e-mail.
• If several devices drop out or come back shortly after one another, the monitoring combines them in one report.
• Deleted devices leave the monitoring's lists the next time it is saved.

INFO

If no monitoring is set up, the security check reports the finding CVE-24-0005.
