2-8 About NetSight Element Manager
Figure 2-4. Sample Tree View Workspace and Associated Tree View Window
Each node icon in a Tree View window is presented at the top layer in the tree hierarchy.
By expanding the display of each node icon, you can view progressively more detailed
information about the node (such as polling status, name, IP address, DLM status
information, model type, and enterprise) and the interface through which NetSight
Element Manager is communicating with the node (such as interface topology, address,
index, and polling information).
You can use a Tree View window to glean basic information about each node and its
polled interface without bringing up its management window; or, by double-clicking on a
node icon, you can open the management window for the selected node.
As with the List View windows, NetSight Element Manager provides a read-only All
Nodes Tree View which displays every node in the database; a set of predefined Tree
Views (based on classes, interfaces, and topologies) is also provided. The pre-defined
views can be edited to suit your needs, or you can create entirely new views as necessary.
Also as with List Views, an Excluded Nodes feature allows you to remove one or more
nodes from a view without removing them from the database or changing the parameters
of the view’s filter.
