Viewing Network Monitor Tracks and Probes
Network monitoring automates the process of testing network and server
performance. However, nothing can relieve you of the necessity of viewing
the results of these tests and taking appropriate action.
When you enable a track to log changes in probe status, the track automati-
cally displays those logs to the terminal screen, as well as saves them to the
event history. Enter this enable mode command to view the event history:
ProCurve# show events
If you want to view the logs on a remote server, enter these commands from
the global configuration mode context:
Syntax: logging forwarding on
Syntax: logging forwarding receiver-ip <A.B.C.D>
For more information about forwarding logs, see Chapter 4: ProCurve Secure
Router OS Firewall—Protecting the Internal, Trusted Network.
You can also periodically check on the status of a track and associated probes
as you manage your ProCurve Secure Router using the commands described
in the sections below.
Viewing Network Monitor Tracks
Enter this enable mode command to check the status and configuration of all
tracks configured on your router:
Syntax: show track
The CLI displays the following information about each track:
Current State—Pass or Fail
Test Value—three pieces of information:
•
the probe or probes associated with the track
•
whether one or both probes must pass (OR or AND)
•
the status of each probe
Track Changes—the number of times that the track's state has changed.
Time in current state—listed in days, hours, minutes, and seconds
Tracking—the routes that the track monitors, if any
You can view a single track by adding its name to the command:
Syntax: show track <name>
