Filtering Tickets by Network Element
Prime Network Vision enables you to filter the tickets that are shown in the ticket pane so that you see
only the tickets that have the selected network element as the root cause.
If the selected network element is alarmed due to an operation that occurred on a di fferent VNE , element,
or link, no tickets are displayed.
To view tickets that have a specific network element as the root cause, do either of the following:
• If the network element icon is at the largest size, click the Filter Tickets button.
• Right-click the required network element in the navigation pane or a map and choose Filter Tickets.
In response:
• The ticket pane displays only the tickets that have the selected network element as the root cause.
• The Filter button in the ticket pane toggles to indicate that a filter has been applied.
Click Clear Filter in the ticket pane to view all tickets.
