Overview of NetSight Element Manager

Figure 2-4. Sample Tree View Workspace and Associated Tree View Window

Each node icon in a Tree View window is presented at the top layer in the tree hierarchy. By expanding the display of each node icon, you can view progressively more detailed information about the node (such as polling status, name, IP address, DLM status information, model type, and enterprise) and the interface through which NetSight Element Manager is communicating with the node (such as interface topology, address, index, and polling information).

You can use a Tree View window to glean basic information about each node and its polled interface without bringing up its management window; or, by double-clicking on a node icon, you can open the management window for the selected node.

As with the List View windows, NetSight Element Manager provides a read-only All Nodes Tree View which displays every node in the database; a set of predefined Tree Views (based on classes, interfaces, and topologies) is also provided. The pre-defined views can be edited to suit your needs, or you can create entirely new views as necessary. Also as with List Views, an Excluded Nodes feature allows you to remove one or more nodes from a view without removing them from the database or changing the parameters of the view’s filter.
