UPERVISOR TO
In the longer term, the Comment facility lets you build a problem solving
database for your network which can help you to solve common
problems quickly.
Sorting
Sorting lets you order events by the column headings of the Event List.
For example, you can sort by event severity, time or importance.
Acknowledging
This lets you mark as acknowledged, events or groups of events which
you have seen.
Ageing
This lets you control how many events are retained in the Event List. You
can set a maximum number of events to be kept or specify that events of
a certain age (number of days) are deleted.
Although the Event List gives you a comprehensive view of network
activity, it is also useful to find out instantly if there is any significant
activity on your network.
Network Supervisor provides alerts for this purpose. They instantly notify
you of significant network activity without requiring that you
continuously have Network Supervisor as the active application on your
PC.
If you want to be notified of an event as soon as it happens, configure an
alert to be activated when that event has been generated.
Network Supervisor provides five types of alerts to suit different working
environments. An alert can be defined as a popup dialog box, e-mail
message, audio alert, pager message or it can launch a specified
application.
