52 Configuring Discovery and Inventory Settings
In the Event Console, when traps get generated from FC switches, ethernet
switches, or EMC arrays, the IP address of the device is displayed; however,
the name of the device is not displayed even though the device is already
discovered in Dell Management Console.
Event Console also provides a rule-based triggering system that lets you
process alerts in the following ways:
• Launch task server tasks in response to specific alerts.
If launch discovery tasks are available for some devices:
• Prevent specific alerts from being stored in the alert database.
• Forward alerts to another management system.
For more information on Event Console, see the Symantec documentation
from Help Context.
On the left hand side of the Resource Manager screen, you can view basic
information about the device along with the connection state of the device.
The connection state displays whether the device is online or not.
In the Right-click actions section, a set of actions that can be performed
on the device are displayed. This action list is context-sensitive,
and the actions displayed depend on the type of the device being examined
(a system, out-of-band device, printer, and so on.)
Discovery Logs
Discovery logs let you review the status of the discovery tasks. The logs
provide useful data when you want to troubleshoot issues with discovery.
By default, Dell Management Console does not save log entries.
To enable discovery logs:
NOTE: If you are discovering a large number of devices, enabling Discovery Logs
may affect the performance of the Dell Management Console.
