Where To Go from Here - Expanding on What You've Learned - The Web Client -
The NerveCenter Web Client provides a Web-based interface for monitoring your network. To use this feature, you must configure Web Server integration during installation.
The Web Client enables you to group and filter alarms in order to focus on instances associated with specific servers, property groups, severities, or IP partitions. You can track alarm instances, view alarm history, obtain information about nodes that trigger alarms, and reset alarms.
NerveCenter Web Client shows a typical alarm window.
Refer to the Monitoring Your Network book for more information about the Web Client.
NerveCenter's reporting capability allows you to collect important network information to anticipate and avoid network problems. You can use reports to establish baselines, monitor thresholds, determine network utilization patterns, track system performance, and identify potential bottlenecks and other critical conditions.
NerveCenter is shipped with several reports developed using Seagate Software Crystal Reports on Windows. You can also create NerveCenter reports from the logs, using other ODBC-compliant tools.
Following is a sample report that is available with NerveCenter. This report summarizes the event log for a node.
Refer to the book Monitoring Your Network for more information about generating reports on Windows.
