6.3.2 Navigation
Using SEA, it is possible to monitor the binary event log files generated by a wide variety of computers all from a single web interface. In order to simplify the process of monitoring these diverse information sources, the web interface uses a hierarchical navigation tree composed of groups, nodes, storage cells, categories and binary event log files.
6.3.2.1 Navigation Tree Hierarchy
The entries in the navigation tree are as follows:
Figure 6–4 Navigation Tree - Hierarchy
Table 6–4 Navigation Tree - Hierarchy Folder Description Groups Multiple computers that are logically associated. Groups contain one or more nodes. Nodes Individual computers. Each node contains two types of log files: System Log and Other Logs. System Log The binary system event log where the computer writes system information. By default, the System log contains Real Time Monitoring and Full View. Real Time Monitoring Automatic analysis results. Full View Manual analysis results for the system event log. Other Logs Any other binary event log files saved on the computer. These can include old files, files from other systems, and examples. Optionally, the other logs can be further divided by categories (See Section 6.9.1 for information on modifying SEA to use categories).Note: Other logs may not appear with the tree when connecting to older versions of WCCProxy. Storage Cells Refreshes tree with current list of storage cells detected by CommandView EVA when clicked. The list is also refreshed when a Storage Configuration Event (type 910) is logged to the system's binary event log and processed by SEA automatic analysis.6.3.2.2 Features of the Navigation Tree
Figures 6–5 and 6–6 describe the features and functions of the navigation tree.
Figure 6–5 Navigation Tree - Collapsed
Figure 6–6 Navigation Tree - Expanded
Table 6–5 Navigation Tree - Features Feature Description Current Selection is Highlighted In most browsers, the currently selected entry in the Navigation Tree is highlighted (Figure 6–5). Collapsing Navigation The tree structure can be collapsed to the group level (Figure 6–5). Expanding Navigation Click on the expansion symbol for an entry to view its contents. Once an entry is expanded, the expansion symbol changes to a collapse symbol. To hide the contents again, click the collapse symbol. Icons Each entry in the tree has a name and an icon that indicates its type. For example, in Figure 6–6 you can tell that the jarjar.cxo.dec.com node is inactive because of its icon. Customizing the Navigation Tree You can customize the navigation tree by adding and removing groups, nodes, categories, and binary event log files (see Section 6.4).Note: Storage cells are generated automatically and cannot be customized by the user. Viewing Results You can view the results of automatic analysis and initiate manual analysis from the navigation tree (see Section 6.5). Refreshing Navigation If you modify the entries in the navigation tree, you may need to refresh the display so your changes appear. To refresh the navigation tree, click the Refresh Tree button.
