Overview of NetSight Element Manager
2-10 About NetSight Element Manager
Log Views
NetSight Element Manager provides a Log View workspace, which contains information
about traps and software events. Like the other workspaces, the Log View workspace —
illustrated in Figure 2-6 — allows you to create, access, and organize the Log View
windows which provide the foundation of alarm and event management. Individual Log
View windows appear as icons within the Log View tree hierarchy; you can create folders
in which to nest individual Log View icons, and double-clicking on a Log View icon will
open the associated Log View window. For more on alarm and event management, refer
to Alarm and Event Handling, page 2-11.

Excluding Nodes
In addition to providing almost unlimited means for viewing the contents of the central
node database, NetSight Element Manager also provides a means for temporarily
excluding certain nodes from view — either from a specific view window, or from the
central node database itself.
When you exclude a node from a specific view, the node is placed into that view’s
individual excluded nodes list. It will no longer be visible from that view, but it remains in
the database and will be displayed in any other view as appropriate.
