Edit Current Probes
Use this window to edit minimum and maximum warning thresholds for your system's current probes.
NOTE: Systems that contain embedded systems management (ESM3) capabilities do not allow you to set warning threshold default values.

Edit Current Probes
Power Users and Administrators can set warning threshold values, but the manufacturer of your system reserves the privilege of setting critical/failure thresholds.
NOTE: When assigning probe threshold values, Server Administrator sometimes rounds the minimum or maximum values you enter to the closest assignable value.
Status Displays whether the event type for this probe is Normal/OK, Warning/Noncritical, or Critical/Failure.
Probe Name Displays the alphanumeric text that uniquely identifies a current probe. For example, the probe for Power Supply can be from 5 to 10 Amperes.
Reading Displays a snapshot of amperage measured by the probe, in amperes, at a given time.
Set to Default Sets the minimum or maximum warning threshold to the default value recommended by your system's manufacturer.
NOTE: The capabilities for managing sensors vary by system.
Set to Value Displays the number of amperes for the minimum and maximum current probe warning threshold.
Min Warning Threshold Displays the lowest acceptable amperage that is recommended for system operation. Values that fall below this amperage result in warning events.
Max Warning Threshold Displays the highest acceptable amperage that is recommended for system operation. Values that exceed this amperage result in warning events.
Min Failure Threshold Displays the lowest acceptable amperage that is required for system operation. Values that fall below this amperage result in critical/failure events.
Max Failure Threshold Displays the highest acceptable amperage that is required for system operation. Values that exceed this amperage result in critical/failure events.
For information on how to set alert actions for current probes, see "Set Alert Actions."
NOTE: Due to the limitations of the VMware® ESXi operating system, the Setting Alert Actions feature is not available with this release of OpenManage Server Administrator.
