the relevant tasks appear in the Tasks pane.

Feature Management Tasks

The following table lists the tasks available on the Feature Management Dashboard. Some tasks listed in

the Feature Management Tasks table appear only after you have imported a particular monitoring feature.

NOTE: In the Event log, ignore the errors pertaining to reimporting of existing management packs

under the error logs. These errors occur when Feature Management Dashboard reimports all the

dependent management packs that are already imported while importing a monitoring feature.

launching another task using the Feature Management Dashboard.
