Platform settings
Global defaults, monitoring mode, timezone and authentication-source configuration.
Global defaults
Administration includes default language, health-check interval and platform timezone. Database timestamps remain UTC while displayed historical timestamps, notifications and reports use the configured platform timezone.
Monitoring mode
Choose Full monitoring or Management only and enable/disable individual background services without deleting stored credentials, assignments or learned baselines.
Authentication Sources
Choose primary, secondary and fallback managed switches for personal SSH login validation or use automatic selection. The Effective Login Path displays the current candidate order and reachability context.
SSH inventory management
The platform can allow scoped SSH roles with inventory permission to add, edit, import and remove switches within assigned scope.
Settings that change runtime behavior
Platform settings cover timezone, monitoring mode, service-specific monitoring switches, notification policy and history retention. Time is stored in UTC; the configured IANA timezone changes presentation, notification output and local-day filters without rewriting historical rows.
Monitoring modes
Full monitoring permits configured background switch, stack, UPS and incident workers. Management only pauses those workers while preserving inventory, credentials, learned stack baselines, assignments, notification routing and incident history. On-demand Operations, Find Device, audits, runbooks and administration remain available.
Change checklist
- Confirm the effect on Dashboard freshness and incident generation.
- Verify that service-specific toggles still match the intended monitoring profile.
- Use the platform overview and a manual scan to confirm the new state.
