How NerveCenter Manages Nodes

To perform its job of event automation, NerveCenter relies on the definition of behavior models. These models are constructed from NerveCenter objects (which we'll discuss in detail later) and define:

• Which nodes the behavior model will affect
• How NerveCenter will detect certain conditions on these nodes
• How NerveCenter will correlate the conditions it detects
• How NerveCenter will respond to network problems

The following sections elaborate on the tasks that NerveCenter performs in order to automate event handling:

• Defining a Set of Nodes
• Detecting Conditions
• Correlating Conditions
• Responding to Conditions
