EDITING A LOG PROCESS

Editing a Log Process

EliteView’s powerful Log Manager gathers a wide variety of network statistics based upon rules (i.e., log processes) you define. Using the Log Manager, you can monitor any MIB variable for a target SNMP device. Each log process defines the parameters under which data related to the specified MIB variable is collected and placed in the central database. The Log Manager controls the data collection activity, as well as allowing you to display and manipulate the data gathered as described in the section on “Viewing Log Data”

Adding a New Log Process

1.Click the Add a new record toolbar button.

2.Fill in the parameters in the Log Information dialog box. Process parameters are defined in the table on the next page.

Not all parameters are required. Only Protocol, Target Address and Variable are mandatory.

Protocol – Click the down arrow to choose from UDP (default), IPX or Ethernet.

Target Address – Use appropriate notation for selected protocol.

Community – Community strings control access rights to network resources. Define your own community string to prevent unauthorized access to critical resources. However, if you do not have any special security concerns, then retain the default community string of public. Refer to the description for object editing in Chapter 4 “Defining the Network Configuration.” MIB Module – Includes standard MIBs based on the RFCs, device-specific MIBs, and private MIBs. For variable names not duplicated in other MIB modules, the default of Any is sufficient.

3.Choose OK to add the new log process or Cancel to abort your selections.
