Figure: Net Inspector home page (default layout)
By default, Net Inspector home page contains the following dashboards (reports):
Problems
The Problems frame provides a summary of current and past problems (alarms) on all devices in current user view. This frame displays all types of alarms (e.g., Device is down, SNMP agent not responding, HTTP service failed, etc.) that are open or have been open within the last 30 days time frame.
For each alarm type the number of currently active alarms is shown (if any), the number of alarms that existed within the last 24 hours (if any), and the number of alarms that existed within the last 30 days (if any) - without the last 24 hours. The last two values do not include current alarms.
By default, alarm types are ordered by severity, with the most severe (critical) alarms on top.
Click the expand symbol () in front of an alarm to view more information about the devices that exhibited the given alarm type.
For devices on which the expanded alarm type is still open, the red Current notice is shown in the Info column and the Value column displays the current value of the corresponding parameter if applicable (e.g., memory usage in %). The Source Info column shows additional information about the source of alarm for certain alarm types (e.g., Interface is down, etc.).
The Info column will show also the Last 24 hours and Last 30 days indication for a device if the given alarm existed on that device in last 24 hours or Last 30 days, respectively. No value is shown for these items (value is shown only for the current alarms).
Click a device name hyperlink in the list to open the device performance page of that device.
Network Map
The Network Map frame displays the contents of a map (devices, submaps, graphic objects) in the same manner as the Map View frame - Graphics view. By default, this frame displays the contents of the root map of the active user view, however, one can configure this frame to display the contents of any (sub)map in the current user view. For more information about the map view and information provided by icons on maps, please refer to the Map View frame - Graphics view topic.
