Docs Use Lantern

Settings

Data collection, appearance, and where to find sign-in and users.

Settings › General
Settings › General in the simulator.

General

  • Data collection:
    • Poll every: how often devices are read. Administrators can change it in the simulator; with real devices it is set in snmp.json.
    • Data source, Syslog (listening address) and Discovery subnets.
  • Syslog: messages received, the last message, drops, and the busiest senders, when syslog is on.
  • Appearance: System, Dark or Light theme. It is saved in this browser only.
  • About: the version, and how Lantern treats your devices (read-only).
  • Polled devices (with real devices): see Check collection. In the simulator, this column is the test fault bench instead.

Sign-in and Users

Administrators also see the Sign-in and Users tabs: see Sign-in and roles and Users and local accounts.

Personal preferences

Some choices are remembered in your browser rather than on the collector: the theme, the sidebar (expanded or compact), the side panel's width, map positions you dragged, the map's colours and scope, and the optional columns in Inventory.
