Monitoring Alarms and Events
You can monitor alarms and events from two screens:
• Map Viewer—Shows icons that indicate the most severe alarm
• Event browser—Shows a table of alarms and events
In addition, you can configure notification groups and channels. These notifications provide audible and
visual alerts when significant events occur. For usage details, refer to the Cisco Element Management
Framework User Guide; these sections are provided only as an orientation.
Map Viewer Display
For Cisco MGM, the Map Viewer displays information about the Cisco MGX 8260 nodes, cards, and
other network equipment (see Figure 7-1).
Figure 6-1 Cisco MGM Topology View
Each object shown in the right window provides graphical cues about its network element. The
information can be structural information, for example, a network element name, or state and event
information, such as “out of service.” If an object becomes unreachable, it displays as a bomb icon.
