Visualization layer

This layer consists of topology visualization and event visualization tools.

About topology visualization
Network Manager provides two types of topology views for network visualization. It is also possible to explore the structure of network devices using the Structure Browser.
About event visualization
In Network Manager events are viewed using the Tivoli Netcool/OMNIbus Web GUI event lists. Event lists can be filtered to monitor the health of specific areas of the network. Event severity is displayed to facilitate rapid identification of the more serious events. Right click tools provide immediate access to related topology views, stored information about affected devices, and real-time SNMP tools for problem diagnosis.
About reporting
Network Manager provides a wide range of reports, including performance reports, troubleshooting reports, asset reports, and device monitoring reports. Right click tools provide immediate access to reports from topology maps.
