Overview

Hosts are visualized on the maps as icons. The same host can be shown as an icon on an unlimited number of maps.

Host properties and info

There are two main windows related to the host: host properties and host info. You can setup the host properties, monitoring and alerting options with host properties window. The host info window presents all the information gathered by the monitor. You will see SNMP information (for SNMP manageable hosts), services and counters performance information, and charts.

Finding the device

You can easily find the device with the search engine located on the main toolbar in the right hand section of the main nVision window and in the Device Information window. A list of properties which are taken into account during searching can be found below:

•Name

•IP, DNS, and MAC addresses of each interface

•Info1 and Info2.

When you keep entering characters in the search box, the results that contain the entered string are filtered out.

To find a device where at least one of the above fields contains:

•a string ending with the entered characters – should finish with a | ,
e.g.:
54|

•a string starting with the entered characters – should be preceded with a | ,
e.g.:
|AABBCC

•the exactly the entered string – should start and finish with a |,
e.g.:
|office-pc|.

Important: DNS identification is turned on only if IP - DNS lookup gives the same result in both directions.
