TIP

TIP

Status conditions as reported by each map — listed here in decreasing order of severity — are defined as follows:

Critical (Red)	At least one element on the represented map is reporting a
	critical condition; a node in critical condition is no longer in
	contact with NetSight Element Manager.
Warning (Yellow)	At least one element in the represented map is reporting a
	warning condition. A node icon turns yellow to indicate that
	NetSight Element Manager has received a trap from the
	represented node, and remains yellow until the trap is
	acknowledged.

If any node in your central node database is in a Critical or Warning state, this status condition will be propagated right up to your desktop via the minimized NetSight Element Manager icon — the Task Bar icon representing NetSight Element Manager will change from the inactive window title bar color to the active window title bar color.

Unknown (Blue)	NetSight Element Manager has not yet been able to contact at
	least one element in the associated map, and has not yet
	determined whether or not that contact will be successful. A
	node or map icon is blue only temporarily, while NetSight
	Element Manager determines whether or not contact can be
	made: if contact is successfully made, the icon will turn green;
	if not, it will turn red. Performing an individual node status
	query (using the Manage—>Query Status option from the
	primary window menu bar, or the Query Status option
	available from the right-mouse menu) temporarily turns a node
	icon blue, while the status query is being made.
Normal (Green)	No elements in the map are reporting warning or critical
	conditions; a map with no elements will also report this status.
	NetSight Element Manager is successfully communicating
	with the represented node, and the node is operating properly
	on the network. Green is also the default color for an undefined
	icon (represented by a question mark): one with which no IP
	address is currently associated.

If you exclude or delete a node from the central node database, its icon will automatically be removed from any open maps; if it appears on any closed maps, its node-specific icon will turn into an undefined (question mark) icon, but remain in place. Note that re-including nodes from the Excluded Nodes database restores them to all appropriate List and Tree Views, but does not restore them to maps.

Undefined (Gray)	Polling has been disabled. This gray status does not propagate
	to the map.
