System Monitoring Section

The System Monitoring section contains the buttons to start, pause, stop, and refresh data updates, alarm counts, system monitoring status information, and a button to expand/collapse the system monitoring content area. For detailed information about system monitoring, see Using System Monitoring Tools.

When the System Administration & Diagnostics application connects to a system, data updates start automatically. The following shows buttons for managing data updates:

– Starts or resumes monitoring system.

– Pauses data updates.

– Stops monitoring system.

– Refreshes data.

The alarm counts area contains high-level system information. This includes the number of critical, major, and minor alarms.

This area also displays the overall system status. Statuses include Unknown, Good, Moderate, and Fair. For the Moderate and Fair statuses, an information icon is displayed next to the status with a tooltip that provides more information.

To view the filtered list of alarms:

Click one of the counts. This opens a new window that shows the filtered list of alarms (see System Alarms).

You can expand or collapse the lower content area using the expand/collapse button. The expanded or collapsed state of the window as well as the window location and expanded size are saved when you close the application and restored when you launch the application.
