HAPTER ONITORING THE ETWORK
Stopping monitoring on a set of devices and links can be performed in a
similar manner to starting monitoring, but by selecting either Monitoring
> Stop Monitoring from the main menu or Stop Monitoring from the
right-click menu instead.
When you stop monitoring for a device or link, 3Com Network Director
clears the stored history for that item's monitors and automatically
resolves any unresolved events for that item that were generated by
active monitors.Unresolved events for the device that were generated by
SNMP traps or passive monitors remain unresolved.If you have the Live
Graphs window or Detailed Graph dialog box open for the item then
these will be automatically closed.
When you stop monitoring for a 3Com device 3Com Network Director
also de-registers itself as an SNMP trap destination if it was previously
registered.
3Com Network Director will never generate events for a device or link
that is not being monitored.

Disabling and Enabling Individual Monitors

Each monitor provides details of the state of a particular attribute of a
device or link.If a particular attribute is of no interest to you, but you still
wish to monitor other attributes on a device or link, then you may disable
the monitor for that attribute in order to reduce the amount of network
traffic generated by 3Com Network Director
Individual monitors can be disabled from the Live Graphs window by
selecting the monitor and then selecting either Monitor > Disable this
monitor from the main menu or Disable this monitor from the right-click
menu.You may also disable a monitor by clicking the Disable this monitor
button in the More Detail dialog box.
Similarly, a disabled monitor can be re-enabled from the Live Graphs
window by selecting the monitor and then selecting either Monitor >
Enable this monitor from the main menu or Enable this monitor from the
right-click menu. Monitors cannot be re-enabled from the More Detail
dialog box.
When you disable a monitor, all events that rely upon that monitor are
automatically disabled. Similarly, when you enable a monitor, all events
that rely upon that monitor are automatically enabled. See "Disabling
and Enabling Events" on page 349.
