Chapter 5 Maintaining an Efficient Network
How Do I Monitor the Network?
Note The showmgm command is an alternate way of viewing processes or services that are running in the
Cisco MGM server.
You can export the information in the Service Monitor Table to a file (see 5.7.1 Exporting Data to a Text
File), or you can generate an HTML file (see 5.7.2 Generating an HTML Report).
5.2.8 Searching for a Network Element
Cisco MGM allows you to search for a specific NE in the network. The search always starts from the
root node and returns to the root node after reaching the last node.
Step 1 In the Domain Explorer, choose Edit > Find.
Step 2 In the Find dialog box, from the Object Type drop-down list, select Network Element/Group.
Step 3 In the Object Properties section, search for an NE using one of the following methods:
• Name—Click this radio button and enter the name of the NE you are searching for.
• IP Address—Click this radio button and enter the IP address of the NE you are searching for.
• Description—Click this radio button and enter a description of the NE that you are searching for.
Step 4 Check the Ignore Case check box to make the search noncase-sensitive.
Step 5 Click OK. In the Domain Explorer, the NE is highlighted in the tree section and the NE properties are
displayed in the properties section.
Note In the Domain Explorer, you can also choose Edit > Find Next to find the next object that matches the
initial Find specification.
