The Traka monitoring task is an operation task in Security Desk that shows the current content of the Traka cabinets and lists past activity. You can use this task to see when an asset is in its cabinet, when it is out, and who last had the asset.

What you should know

The status of the iFobs is updated every 10 seconds.

Procedure

To monitor the current state of your assets:

  1. From the Security Desk home page, open the Traka monitoring task.
  2. Select a cabinet.
    The contents of the cabinet are shown. The color of the key indicates the state of the iFob.
    Yellow key
    The iFob and attached assets are in the cabinet and in the correct receptor slot.
    Red key
    The iFob and attached asset are in the cabinet, but in the wrong receptor slot.
    No key
    The iFob and attached assets are not in the cabinet.
  3. If a cabinet is missing, open Config Tool, and make sure the cabinet was imported, and that it is described correctly.

To investigate recent activity at the cabinet:

  1. In the Events filter list, select the type of events you want to see.
    Events are displayed chronologically in the event list.
  2. If an event type is not listed in the Events filter, do one of the following:
    1. Close the Traka monitoring task, and then reopen it.
    2. Open the plugin role's Events page, select the event you expected to see in the Traka monitoring column.
  3. To find a specific event: scroll through this list or use the Traka report task to generate a report.
  4. To see the video of an event, use the Traka report.
