Configuring the Expert System

Use the Expert Configurations dialog box to change expert settings. With the Expert View visible, select Expert Settings from the Configuration menu to view configuration options. An example Expert Configurations dialog box is shown below.

Figure 10-6. Expert Configuration Example

Settings are organized in a tree structure, with different network layers as the main branches in the tree. Symptoms are displayed as items under the layers. There is a checkbox in front of each item that can be enabled/disabled. Disabling an entire branch in the tree, such as Data Link, disables all expert symptoms that can be disabled for that layer. Transport or application symptoms cannot be disabled completely, so there is no checkbox by these items. The entire expert system can be disabled by removing the top level check next to Expert.

If the symptom has a threshold value, two items are displayed under it. The first shows what the threshold value means, the second is an edit control showing the current threshold value. The value is always a number. In the example above, the Idle Too Long symptom is expanded. The display shows the meaning (Idle Time, in seconds) and the current threshold (60) for triggering this event.
