Installation
The installation of Symbiosis depends on the form factor:

  • Preinstalled in an industrial quality fan-less device, with an external power supply. Depending on the customer interface requirements (multiple LANs, RS-485, RS-232, etc), different form factors are available. The devices can be mounted on the DIN-rail or in a 19 inch rack.
  • Preinstalled in a virtual machine or Docker container to be installed on a server. This only offers single Ethernet support without auto-detection.

Exporting data and events from symbiosis
Symbiosis can easily be bound into an existing management structure using any of the following standard features:

  • The data from all the connected devices can be exported to an external MySQL server. The schema that is necessary to set this up is available from our web-site.
  • Symbiosis includes an SNMP agent (the MIB is available via the web-site). SNMP managers can query the Symbiosis gateway for data collected from the connected devices, and receive the important data in a concise form without the necessity of loading all the individual device MIBs.
  • Notifications can be automatically passed on to SYSLOG server. Symbiosis offers a simple way to select which notifications are exported (e.g. only errors).
  • Notifications can be automatically sent as E-mails to a specific user. The decision which notification level will be sent, is also a simple Symbiosis setup parameter. Symbiosis will try reduce the number of E-mails sent by packing multiple notifications into one message.
  • Notifications can be sent via push to specific smartphone users.
