Status Map
----------
The Status Map helps you navigate among individual managed hosts
and/or pools on the network and it shows the status of each host and
/or pool. The latter is done thorough changes in the color and color
state (blinking or solid) of the icon for each host and /or pool.
The Status Map uses the following color scheme to show the current
highest priority event for a host/pool. This list is shown from
lowest to highest priority:
+ Green - OK
+ White - Information
+ Yellow - Warning
+ Blue - Error
+ Red - Severe
See the "STATUS MAP" chapter in the Enlighten User Guide for a
description of the types of events which occur (acknowledged,
unacknowledged, cleared, and uncleared) and how the Status Map will
reflect these changes.
The rest of this section describes the basic functionality of the
main Status Map window.
Map Navigation
Select an host or pool icon by clicking on it. All Enlighten Sys
Admin functions act upon any hosts selected in the Status Map. See
the "STATUS MAP" chapter in the Enlighten User Guide for more
details.
Map Editing
You can perform various operations on an icon by positioning the
cursor over the desired icon and then using the right and/or left
mouse buttons.
Right Mouse Button
Use the right mouse button while the cursor is over a host or pool
icon to pop up a menu to further manipulate that icon.
The host pop-up menu offers the following choices:
+ Host Overview
+ Remove Host from Current Pool
Select the Host Overview option to bring up the Host Overview
window. See "Host Overview" on page 11-6 for more details on how to
use this window. Select the Remove Host from Current Pool option to
delete the host from the current pool and thus remove the host icon
from the map (if you have the correct permissions to do so).
The pool pop-up menu offers the following choices:
+ Zoom into Current Pool
+ Delete Pool
Select the Zoom into Current Pool option to view the contents of the
selected network pool.
Select the Delete Pool option to delete the pool definition from
your list of configured pools. Enlighten will prompt you to confirm
this action.
Left Mouse Button
Select a host or pool icon by left-clicking on it. You can also move
icons by clicking and dragging (if you have Modify permissions).
You can view the contents of a pool by double-clicking on the pool
icon. The Status Map will be redrawn to represent the configuration
of the selected pool.
You can also bring up the Host Overview window for a host by
double-clicking on its icon. See "Host Overview" on page 11-6 for
more details on how to use this window.
Window Buttons
This window contains the following buttons:
Exception Pool
Regular Pool
You can use this button to switch the display from the Exception
Pool status icons to the Regular Pool status icons or vice-versa.
An Exception Pool is a generic pool containing all the hosts which
generated an alarm through Events or Sys Admin. The Exception Pool
only shows unacknowledged events for those hosts. Each host icon
shown here will display its status as described in the "STATUS MAP"
chapter in the Enlighten User Guide.
The Exception Pool toggle button always shows the most severe
exception (color) in its pool. You can click on the Exception Pool
option to display all the hosts in the Exception Pool on the Status
Map. The Exception Pool then becomes your current active pool.
Query Events
You can click on this button to bring up the Query Event Messages
window and search for Events messages of a specific type. See "Query
Events" on page 11-10 for more details on how to use this window.
Acknowledge
You can click on this button to acknowledge the unacknowledged
events for the selected host or for all hosts in the selected pool.
The flashing color of the icon will become a solid color, indicating
there are no longer any unacknowledged events associated with the
host(s). You can only execute this option if you have Modify
permissions.
Note: If you are in the Exception Pool and acknowledge events for a
host, the icon for that host will be removed from the Status Map
display.
Up A Level
You can click on this button to traverse out of a sub-pool. This
action will reset the network map, placing you outside of the
sub-pool you are currently viewing. This is useful since Enlighten
has the ability to place pools inside of pools, creating many layers
of sub-pools.
Exception Mode
You can use this toggle to switch the display mode for the Exception
Pool. The options are to show All exceptions in the Exception Pool
(the default) or to only show the ones Hidden from your current
point of view (those exceptions found in the pools in the level
above, below, or alongside the pool you're currently viewing).
Information Areas
This window contains the following information areas: Pool
Hierarchy, Status Map, and Event Notification. See the "STATUS MAP"
chapter in the Enlighten User Guide for more details.
