Network Manager web applications

Network Manager runs a number of web applications within Dashboard Application Services Hub.

Multiple web clients
Multiple web clients interact with the network topology, and distribute topology maps on demand. The topology maps include device status information, that is, the severity of the highest alert that affects a device, which is calculated from ObjectServer events. You can also use the Structure Browser to view device structure information.
The following web-client views are provided :
  • Hop View
  • Network Views
SNMP MIB browser
The MIB browser enables on-demand SNMP queries to network device MIBs.
MIB graphing
The MIB graphing function provides a real-time graph of specific MIB variables and MIB expressions on a network device. This graph is useful for fault analysis and resolution of network problems.
Path Views
Path Views display discovered system paths and paths through the network that are specified by the user.
Reporting
The Reporting section provides a set of default Tivoli® Common Reporting reports, including performance reports. Reports are formatted for .html, .pdf, and .csv output, and can be formatted to PostScript. Ensure that at a minimum a reader is installed on your computer for the file format to which you output reports. For example, to output reports in .pdf format, install a PDF reader.
Network Discovery GUI
The Network Discovery GUI enables web-based configuration of network discovery.
Management Database Access page
The Management Database Access page enables web-based querying of Network Manager databases.
Network Polling GUI
Provides the front end for managing the Network Manager poll policies and definitions.
