Monitoring Devices

Overview

You can both identify and obtain status of devices and device interfaces using

features of the DCE Manager. Specifically, you can:

H Monitor devices and device interfaces through the use of color-coded icons

H Use the OpenView event log to view categories of events

H Obtain a description of a device or device interface

H Display detailed status on a device or device interface

This chapter discusses these options in more detail.

Using Color to Obtain Status

Both the device icons displayed in an OpenView map and the device interface

icons within a Device Display use color to indicate the state of the device or

device interface. The following sections discuss this in more detail.
