Operations Screens
The HP-UX HIDS System Manager has five operations screens that you use to manage
the product’s operations, receive operator input, and display HP-UX HIDS output:
• System Manager
The System Manager screen displays the current status of the agent systems and
controls agent operations. It is launched automatically when the System Manager
starts. All other operations screens can be accessed from the Edit or View menus of
the System Manager screen. You can return to the System Manager screen via the
View > System Manager menu item on any other operations screen. See
Chapter 4, “System Manager Screen,” on page 43.
• Schedule Manager
With the Schedule Manager screen, you can create and modify surveillance
schedules and surveillance groups and modify template property values. You can
also specify the days and times that each surveillance group will be active. See
Chapter 5, “Schedule Manager Screen,” on page 57.
• Host Manager
With the Host Manager screen, you can specify and enable the agent hosts you
want to monitor. See Chapter 6, “Host Manager Screen,” on page 83.
• Network Node
The Network Node screen displays the alerts and error messages that have been
generated by an agent. Each agent is displayed on a separate screen. See Chapter 7,
“Network Node Screen,” on page 99.
• Preferences
The Preferences screen allows you to specify operational parameters and the
columns that will be presented on the System Manager screen, the Host Manager
Alerts tab, and the Host Manager Errors tab. See Chapter 8, “Preferences
Screen,” on page 113.
