Nform Monitoring—Navigation Tree

12.0 NFORM MONITORING—NAVIGATION TREE

Nform constantly monitors the devices set up using the Configure tab and performs actions as spec-

ified in the configuration settings for each device. This section describes how to use the Nform Net

Event Manager to check the status of any SNMP device configured for monitoring.

12.1 Viewing the Navigation Tree

The navigation tree allows you to view the status of all configured devices. To view the tree:

• Log on as either Administrator or Power User.

• Click on the Navigate tab.

• In the left side of the window, click on the device you wish to view. The device information dis-

played in the right side of the window has either of two formats, depending on whether the device

is HTML-supported or not.

12.1.1 Navigate View—HTML-Supported Devices

For HTML-supported devices, the right side of the window shows tabs and device information to view

and configure. This example shows the monitor tab for a device with a Web-enabled card installed.

12.1.2 Navigate View—Non-HTML Devices

For devices without HTML support, Nform displays device information in a format similar to the win-

dow shown below. You may select which data points are displayed or change the description of any

item in the device setup (see 9.2.2 - Views tab).
