A single word	`cat`	Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats".
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase.	`"cat food"` (quotation marks)	Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase.

Node Form: General Tab

[This is the Context-Sensitive Help topic for the Node form, general tab.]

The Node Form provides details about the selected node.

System Properties
Attribute	Description
System Name	The MIB II sysName value returned from the device's SNMP agent. This attribute is set by the device administrator. If sysName is part of the strategy used to populate the node Name attribute value, NNMi avoids populating the NNMi database with multiple devices having the same manufacturer's default name by following a set of rules. Click here for details. For each device type, NNMi has a Device Profile that includes a record of the manufacturer's default sysName. Other settings within the Device Profile can change the way NNMi determines sysName values. To view the Device Profile associated with this node, locate the Device Profile attribute in the Basics section of the Node form, and click the Lookup icon. Your NNMi administrator can make changes to a Device Profile, if necessary.
System Contact	Optional MIB-II sysContact value. This attribute is set by the device administrator. It usually includes the contact person for the managed node as well as information about how to contact this person.
System Location	Optional MIB sysLocation value for the physical location of the current node. For example, Building K, 3rd floor. This attribute is set by the device administrator.
System Object ID	MIB-II sysObjectID value provided by the vendor. This value identifies the device vendor, type, and model. For example, all Cisco 6509 devices have the same system object ID.
System Description	Optional MIB-II sysDescr value for the device description. This attribute is set by the device administrator.

Managing Agents
Attribute	Description
Agent Type	Type of the agent (SNMP or Web). Each physical device configured with an SNMP Agent will have an SNMP Agent. Each hypervisorThe virtual machine manager in charge of delegating various aspects from a pool of resources to become virtual devices. The delegations might be static or dynamic, depending on the manufacture's implementation. The type of virtual machines being generated depends on the manufacturer's implementation. could have two agents: SNMP Agent gathering SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol data. Web Agent gathering SOAPSimple Object Access Protocol data from the VMware VSphere® WebService. Each virtual machine provided by the hypervisor has only the Web Agent.
Agent Name	Indicates whether the agent is an SNMP Agent or Web Agent. For Web Agents hosted on VMware hypervisors, the field shows VMware vSphere. For SNMP Agents, the field shows the combination of the SNMP version used by the agent (for example, SNMPv2c) and the IP address of the agent. To see more details about an SNMP AgentSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is an Internet-standard protocol used to manage devices on IP networks. The SNMP Agent uses this protocol to report information to authorized management programs. or Web AgentThe Web Agent represents a management service running on a device and contains the settings NNMi uses to communicate with the device., click the agent name to open the SNMP Agent form or Web Agent form.
Hosted On	The FQDN or IP address of the system that hosts the agent.
Agent Status	The status of the node that hosts the agent.
Agent State	Indicates whether the agent assigned to this node is available and how NNMi is interacting with this agent. Possible values are: For the SNMP Agent: Normal – Indicates that the agent responds to requests requiring authentication and login. Not Responding – Indicates that the SNMP agent does not respond to requests requiring authentication and login. Not Polled – Indicates that this SNMP Agent's address is intentionally not polled, based on current Monitoring Configuration settings, current Communication Configuration settings, or because the parent Node is set to Not Managed or Out of Service. The SNMP Agent’s address might or might not have an associated polling policy. No Polling Policy – Indicates that this SNMP Agent's address is being polled, but no polling policy exists in any Monitoring Configuration settings for this monitored attribute. Unset – Currently not used by NNMi. For the Web Agent: Normal – Indicates that the agent responds to requests requiring authentication and login. Not Responding – Indicates that the Web Agent does not respond to requests requiring authentication and login. Not Polled – Indicates that this Web Agent is intentionally not polled, based on current Monitoring Configuration settings, current Communication Configuration settings, or because the parent Node is set to Not Managed or Out of Service. The Web Agent might or might not have an associated polling policy. No Polling Policy– Indicates that this Web Agent is being polled, but no polling policy exists. Unset – Currently not used by NNMi. State is determined by the State Poller Service. The current state contributes towards the status calculation for the node. See the Node Form: Status tab for more information.
SNMP Agent Enabled	Indicates whether the agent is set up to communicate with NNMi.
