About operational event notices
Symantec Network Security monitors operational events as they are processing,
such as startup and shutdown of a software or appliance node, or errors
experienced within a module. The Incidents tab displays notices about the
following types of operational events:
Monitored Host Unavailable: Symantec Network Security has detected a
■
drop in network availability.
iButton Token Failure: The iButton, used only by Network Security software
■
nodes, stores the private key portion of the Symantec Network Security
signature certificate to safeguard the private key against being stolen or
compromised. The iButton also confirms the identity of a software node.
