Listing Trap Masks

This section explains how to display a list of the trap masks currently defined in the NerveCenter database. The section also explains how to view the definition of a particular trap mask.

For information on creating a new trap mask, see Defining a Trap Mask.

 
  To display a list of trap masks and then display a particular mask's definition:

1. From the client's Admin menu, choose Mask List.

   The Mask List window is displayed.

   This window lists all NerveCenter masks and provides a brief definition of each. For each mask, the window specifies a name and the following information:

   • Whether the mask is currently enabled
   • The generic trap the mask is looking for
   • The enterprise from which the trap must come before the mask will fire a trigger
   • The name of the mask's simple trigger or an indication that the mask uses a trigger function
2. Select a mask from the mask list.
3. Select the Open button

   NerveCenter displays the Mask Definition window.

   The mask defined in this figure is named LinkDown. It is looking for a generic trap 2 from any managed node and will fire the simple trigger linkDown if it finds one.
