Overview of NetSight Element Manager

Log Views

NetSight Element Manager provides a Log View workspace, which contains information about traps and software events. Like the other workspaces, the Log View workspace — illustrated in Figure 2-6— allows you to create, access, and organize the Log View windows which provide the foundation of alarm and event management. Individual Log View windows appear as icons within the Log View tree hierarchy; you can create folders in which to nest individual Log View icons, and double-clicking on a Log View icon will open the associated Log View window. For more on alarm and event management, refer to Alarm and Event Handling, page 2-11.

Excluding Nodes

In addition to providing almost unlimited means for viewing the contents of the central node database, NetSight Element Manager also provides a means for temporarily excluding certain nodes from view — either from a specific view window, or from the central node database itself.

When you exclude a node from a specific view, the node is placed into that view’s individual excluded nodes list. It will no longer be visible from that view, but it remains in the database and will be displayed in any other view as appropriate.
