The State of a Node is actually determined by combining the overall status of all
the Alarm objects related to the Node along with any rollup of the State values of
the child Nodes contained by the Node. How this information is combined
depends on the type of Node being displayed.
The following State icons and their meaning are shown here:
This icon indicates that the State of the Node is unknown. This usually
means that no data has been seen for this Node since the Server was
initialized.
This icon indicates that the State of the Node is Up.
This icon indicates that an Application Error has occurred on the Node.
This icon indicates that the Node is partially impaired. This means that
at least one of its child Nodes is down, but, due to fault tolerant design,
the overall operation of the Node is not compromised.
However, the presence of this State indicates that the user should drill
down and look for trouble areas beneath it.
This icon indicates the Node is Down.
There are two other types of icons that may be seen in the State icon. These icons
are actually an overlay of a bitmap on top of one of the icons shown above.
The first type of overlay is for a Hyperlink Node. This overlay is a
yellow arrow superimposed on an icon. A Hyperlink Node is actually a
reference to an actual Node somewhere else in hierarchy. It is most
often used in a Logical or Functional branch of Nodes. The State of a
Hyperlink Node will be the same as the State of the real Node that it
refers to.
A Hyperlink Node will always appear as a leaf Node and can never have child
Nodes. You can navigate to the real Node that the Hyperlink refers to by double
clicking on this Node.
