The number of currently detected rogues is conveniently displayed in the
Alerts panel.

Event Logging

3WXM incorporates a powerful and flexible display interface for all
events collected by the system. Events are stored on a per-WX basis and
are collected continuously. Customizable filters can be created to easily
drill down to specific information the event log database. You can filter
events based on:

Verification

Both configuration verification and network verification rules are checked
for any inconsistencies or problems. Verification rules include "instant
fix" resolutions. Instant fix resolutions are errors that can be automatically
fixed, or alternatively providing a hot link to the object containing the
error.
You can selectively disable any rule. Disabling a rule is useful if you wish
to ignore a warning and do not want to see it displayed anymore. The
number of configuration and network errors or warnings are
conveniently displayed in the Alerts panel.

Reporting

3WXM uses a database to collect and store client, RF, and other system
dynamic data, such as statistics, status, events, and traps. You can
generate reports from the monitoring and configuration data collected in
the database. A report can have a selectable scope and a selectable time
period and in some cases, query filter parameters. See Table 8 for a listing
and description of the reports you can generate in 3WXM.
