System information

Find
Allows you to search the NMIS data for all interfaces with the keywords in IP address, description,
interface name, subnet mask. This is a simple way to see exactly how many Gigabit interfaces you
have and the IP addresses for each.
This becomes quite a powerful tool by being able to identify which routers have which IP address and IP
subnet.
Current Events
Shows a list of active events in the NMIS event state table. This is what is wrong with the network right
now. You can acknowledge and un-acknowledge events to stop them escalating. Events can't be
deleted, this is quite deliberate, without them in the log they will keep occurring.
Event Log
A list of previous events color coded and drillable. Handy!
Reports
Produces dynamic reports and lists the snapshot reports if it has been enabled (done through the
reports.pl and run-reports.sh scripts).
Outages
Add planned outages to NMIS so NMIS won't decrease your network metrics.
Links
When configured lists a set of links on NMIS and show summary information, another nice way to view
the network information.
Logs
Allows you to view color coded drillable logs of Cisco Syslog information (if configured) and other logs
you might like to have on your web browser.
NMIS Log
Allows you to view NMIS log information for errors, etc. A great place to look if things are going wrong.
Nodes
You can add, edit and delete entries to the NMIS Nodes table.
Links
You can add, edit and delete entries to the NMIS Links table.
Locations
You can add, edit and delete entries to the NMIS Locations table. Allows information to be stored about
locations for the network. Links to sysLocation. Lets map that logical to physical.
