Best Practices Tour for the Monitoring Workspace

This Best Practices Tour describes how to use the Monitoring workspace to determine the health of your network devices.

Use the Monitoring workspace to examine the node sensors, physical sensors, chassis, cards, interfaces, nodes, SNMP Agents, or addresses whose health is not Normal ( Critical, Major, Minor, or Warning). This workspace also contains views for groups of card redundancy groups, router redundancy groups, and node groups whose health is not Normal.

The Custom Node Collections and Custom Polled Instances views are used when the NNMi administrator has configured device polling to include MIB variables that are not otherwise monitored by NNMi.

When you open a view in the Monitoring workspace, and select a row, the Analysis Pane displays in the bottom half of the window. NNMi performs analysis of the selected object and determines the most important information to display. Any Summary details for the selected object appear in the leftmost panel. This Summary panel provides a convenient way to access the form for any related objects. To explore information about the Node, use the browse buttons:

to display a list of all available tabs. Select any tab name from the list to display that tab.
to display the next subset of tabs (depending on the current width of your NNMi window).

To access a related object's form, click the row or hyperlink that represents the object of interest.

For detailed information on these and many other NNMi topics, see the Help → Using the NNMi Console and Help → Help for Operators from the NNMi console's toolbar.
