Alcatel-Lucent Security Management Server (SMS) Release 9.4 Technical Overview page 57

Alcatel-Lucent Security Management Server (SMS)
Real-time device status can be synchronized across redundant SMSs or multi-site
SMSs. Graphs provide both real-time as well as historical data.
Additionally, specific elements of individual Brick devices may be graphed.
Also, sets of Brick devices may be collected into a "monitored" group, with statistics
provided overall for that group, disregarding all other Bricks in the system.
An administrator may login using only "Status Monitor" view, providing a view into
the system which cannot be used to modify any configuration; this is ideal for a
Network Operations Center wall screen or other persistent monitoring system.
Real-time Log Viewer
The Log Viewer application is launchable from the SMS Remote Navigator. It has the
ability to display log records in real-time, as received from all Brick devices in the
network, from one centralized point. These messages can be filtered and sorted, and
the filters can be stored for future use. The Log Viewer also provides a historical
record search capabilities, within specified time parameters. This real-time Log Viewer
is typically used for troubleshooting and debugging, as well as conducting security
audits of attacks in progress.
SMS Messenger
The SMS Messenger allows logged-in administrators to send text messages to each
other. Note that this mechanism is controlled completely within the SMS and requires
no commercial "external" servers or services. Additionally, the feature works with
administrators logged in to either SMS in a redundant environment.
SMS Process Status Viewer
For those administrators responsible for overall operations of the SMS host itself, a
real-time SMS Process Monitor application is also available remotely. This application
can display and graph real-time resource utilization of the SMS host.
