Novell SENTINEL RAPID DEPLOYMENT 6.1 - 12-2009 User Manual page 183

Move: Moves the selected object from its current parent object to another parent object. You
can move objects between the views; that is, move from the Live View to the Scratchpad and
vice versa.
Clone: Creates a new object that has its configuration information prepopulated with the
settings of the currently selected object. This allows you to quickly create a large number of
similar event sources without retyping the same information over and over again. You can
clone objects between the views; that is, move from the Live View to the Scratchpad and vice
versa. Cloning an object copies all the settings except the Run status. New objects created by
using the Clone command are always in the Stopped state after creation.
Remove: Deletes a selected object from the system.
Contract: Collapses the child nodes into this node. This option is only available on parent
nodes that are currently in an expanded state.
Expand: Expands the child nodes of this node. This option is only available on parent nodes
that are currently in a collapsed state.
Add Collector: Opens an Add Collector Wizard that guides you through the process of adding
a Collector to the selected Collector Manager.
Add Connector: Opens an Add Connector Wizard that guides you through the process of
adding a Connector to the selected Collector.
Add Event Source: Opens an Add Event Source Wizard that guides you through the process
of adding an event source to the selected Connector.
Open Raw Data Tap: Displays the live stream of raw data from an event source or flowing
through the selected object.
Open Active View: Opens an Active View
generated by data from or flowing through the selected object.
Zoom: Zooms in the graphical view display on the selected object.
Show in Tabular/Graphical View: Switches over to the other view (to tabular view if you
are in the graphical view, or to graphical view if you are in the tabular view) and automatically
selects the object that is selected in the current view. When switching to graphical view, it also
zooms in on the selected object.
Raw Data Filter: Allows you to filter the raw data flowing through the selected node. The raw
data filter is available on Collectors, Connectors, and event sources. If a filter is specified to
drop data, the data to be dropped is not passed to the parent node and, therefore, is not
converted into events.
Import Configuration: Imports the configuration of ESM objects.
Export Configuration: Exports the configuration of ESM objects
Add Event Source Server: Allows you to add event source server to the selected Collector
Manager
Add Collector Manager: In Scratchpad mode, you can add a Collector Manager to the
Scratchpad by using this option. In the Live view, Collector Manager objects are created
automatically as each Collector Manager connects to the Sentinel system.
When you select multiple objects in the ESM panel and right-cliches following options are
available:
Start: Starts all the objects
Stop: Stops all the objects
