Viewing Analysis Results and Application Topology
When Application Connectivity Monitor diagnoses a problem or detects an abnormal condition, it generates a notification. The Global Console displays notifications in several ways:
•In the tabular format of a Notification Log view.
•In the color state of icons on a map.
Viewing the Properties of a Notification
The Notification Properties dialog box provides detailed information about individual notifications. There are several methods to display the Notification Properties dialog box. The most common method is to
When open, the Notification Properties dialog box displays one or more of the following tabs:
•General lists the properties of the notification. Notifications, similar to topology elements, are objects in the repository of the Global Manager. As such, their properties are codified as attributes. A notification’s attributes identify the managed element where the problem occurred, the severity of the problem, and the underlying domain, or source, that diagnosed the problem.
•Audit Log lists any actions performed on the notification by the system or by a user. Actions can include acknowledging, taking ownership, and invoking a tool.
•Codebook lists the symptomatic events used to diagnose a root cause problem. A separate Codebook tab is displayed for each underlying domain that diagnoses the problem as a root cause.
•Impact lists managed elements, if any, that are affected by the notification.
•Details lists information about the notification from the underlying domain that sent the notification. Information may include attributes of the affected element or threshold values and their related attributes.
•Caused By lists the problems or events that are causing the selected notification. This is the inverse of the Codebook tab.
•Aggregates lists the component events of a notification.
