Monitoring and Alerting 111
The Resource Manager provides a detailed view of everything specific to this
device that will contribute to its health.
Primary health, agent health, and connection state all combine to make up
the overall device health as seen in the Group Health View. The breakdown
of the health status is visible from the Resource Manager or numerically in
the Performance Viewer (see Table 9-6.)
Agent Health Status Web Part
This Web part displays all monitored health agents and other relevant
information.
Connection State Indicator
This indicator in the upper left corner of the Resource Manager indicates the
connection state of the device, whether connected or disconnected.
Event Console Web Part
The Event Console Web part on the Resource Manager displays all alerts
specific to this device. All alerts received from the monitor solution
contribute to the overall health for this device. For more information on
Event Console, see the Online Help.
Connection State Monitoring
The Connection state is part of health monitoring and affects the device roll-
up health. If the connection is lost, the device roll-up health is displayed as
critical.
When a device is in Disconnect or Connection lost state, the Notification
Server cannot communicate with the device and this state includes the
following:
• Physical power loss
• Network connectivity loss
• Protocol stops responding
• Agent stops responding
When troubleshooting a non-communicating device, consider the preceding
possibilities.
