Facility Control

Is it possible to use Dashboard to fire scheduled routes for a Carbonite Xtreme? Basically the time of day would be a constant and the scheduler would trigger the route when the checkbox is selected and the scheduled time passes. How would I populate the drop-down lists with the global labels? I'm not very proficient with Dashboard so any help would be appreciated.

Hi TMunro.
There are some tricky bits involved with getting the list of sources and destinations out of the selected IPS. I have encoded a panel that has script in place to handle this and you are welcome to use it as the base of your panel. The heavy lifting is done by the function in the tag called "populateDropdownLists".

Please feel free to contact me for further assistance and we can help move you along in your project.

#DashBoard

Thanks James this is a huge help. I have updated the global labels but I'm not seeing that information populate the drop down lists. Should I be doing something in the setup of each drop down for them to acquire this information?

#DashBoard

If you click on the "Configure" button, you can either remove any customizations you've added to your router's configuration file in DashBoard (this is a file that lives in DashBoard and contains lists of sources, destinations, and levels associated with your particular router/IPS) or import the Global Labels to overwrite the default labels in that configuration.
#DashBoard

Note:
When you click "Configure", you'll see this dialog box.

If you have the "Custom" checkbox checked, it means DashBoard will not automatically try to generate a configuration for you (if it can/does, it will use Global Labels automatically). If you do not need to check the "Custom" box, don't.



If you require "Custom", you can click the button under "Labels" to manually-specify your labels and/or import them from Global Labels:

Hello James;

Is your solution working with a Carbonite Black Solo ? I would like to recall memory at time. (Or doing this with my Ultrix but I need CleanSwitch)
