Are there problems on the Exceptions reports?

Over the next few days, you can check the Exceptions list for any problems. The Exceptions list will tell you if and why Network Discovery is having trouble collecting data for example, because a device does not have SNMP management enabled or because Network Discovery needs some community strings.

From now on, check the Exceptions reports regularly, and especially after you make network changes.

To see a list of the Exceptions

„On the Health Panel, double-click the Exceptions alarm category.

The Alarms Viewer will open, listing all the devices that have exceptions. You can open a Device Manager for any of the devices to see if there are any other problems.
