Monitor Device Tasks
Viewing the Device Summary | The Device Summary Report page provides detailed information about the selected device. Different devices will display modified fields. | Monitor Devices Using Device Summary
Viewing the Alarm Summary | Clicking the Alarms link from Monitor Devices displays the alarms associated with the selected device, and provides a link to the Event Advisor. | Monitor Devices Using Alarms
Viewing the Event Log report Accessing the Event Advisor | An event is a notification that contains information about something that happened on a device. There are many types of events, and each type describes a separate occurrence. Clicking the EventLog link from Monitor Devices displays all events associated with the selected device, and provides a link to the Event Advisor. The Event Log Report is for information purposes only. No user input accepted. | Monitoring Devices Using Event Log
Viewing the Device Report Determining the health of the device's individual components Narrowing the list of devices Reviewing FRU-level information Accessing information about a device's components. | For each component, the user has the ability to expand the device and gather information down to each FRU. For this example, the Sun StorEdge 6120 array and its components are shown, though similar detailed information is available for each device that the host monitors. | Monitoring Devices Using Device Report
Viewing the Graph Report | Displays a graphical illustration and labels all major FRUs. | Monitoring Devices Using Graph Report
Monitor Topology Tasks

Monitor Log Tasks
Viewing messages on a host Accessing the message window | Review devices and hosts message log files. | Messages
Viewing a host event log Producing a customized event log | Displays all of the events for a particular device. | Event Log
Creating a customized event filter Adding a new event filter | Create a customized event filter. | Creating a Customized Event Filter
Viewing an alert log Producing a customized alert log | Displays all of the alerts for a particular device. | Alert Log
Aggregating Events using Fault Signature Analysis | The Fault Signature Analysis (FSA) option enables the aggregation of alerts that share common "suspect" FRUs. | Aggregating Events Using Fault Signature Analysis
Displaying agent errors | The Storage Automated Diagnostic Environment System Errors window displays system errors that have occurred on a given host. | Agent Errors
