Maintaining the Node List

To detect and correlate network events, NerveCenter must have basic information about each of the managed nodes it is monitoring.

Once you have initially populated the node list (see Populating the Node List Initially), NerveCenter will need a way to adapt its node list to reflect changes in your network topology. NerveCenter offers several methods for adding and deleting nodes.

These methods include:

• Synchronization with your network management platform
• Adding Nodes Discovered from Traps
• Adding and Deleting Nodes Manually

The following chart illustrates how each method affects NerveCenter's node list.
