Excluding Nodes from the Central Node Database
In addition to its central node database, NetSight Element Manager maintains a second
database called the Excluded Nodes database. The Excluded Nodes database serves as a
kind of temporary holding area for nodes which have been excluded from all views but not
yet deleted from the database. Nodes which have been placed in the Excluded Nodes
database are not polled by NetSight Element Manager, and are no longer displayed in any
List, Tree, or Map View; they can only be viewed via the Excluded Nodes window.
To access the Excluded Nodes window:
1. Select View —>Excluded Nodes from the primary window menu bar. The
Excluded Nodes window, Figure 4-14 , opens.
Figure 4-14. The Excluded Nodes Window
The Excluded Nodes window allows you to both view and sort the list of nodes which
have been excluded from all views; from this window, excluded nodes can be returned to
the central node database (and re-displayed in all appropriate views), or removed from
NetSight Element Manager entirely. The excluded nodes list can also be sorted by clicking
on the column heads; note that only limited information about excluded nodes is
displayed.
