Managing events
The ForeSight 6100 indicates the status of nodes on the heirarchical tree by changing the text background
color of node names and the icon color of parent containers (for example, in
backgrounds signify that everything is functioning normally).
When a node changes state, it generates an alarm, then the node sends an SNMP trap message to the 6100 EMS.
The 6100 EMS changes the node's color to red, orange, or yellow (depending upon the severity of the alarm), sig-
nifying that a major event has occurred, and also changes the icon color for all parent containers to the same color.
