Figure 10-6. Expert Configuration Example
Settings are organized in a tree structure, with different network layers as the main
branches in the tree. Symptoms are displayed as items under the layers. There is a
checkbox in front of each item that can be enabled/disabled. Disabling an entire
branch in the tree, such as Data Link, disables all expert symptoms that can be
disabled for that layer. Transport or application symptoms cannot be disabled
completely, so there is no checkbox by these items. The entire expert system can be
disabled by removing the top level check next to
Expert
.
If the symptom has a threshold value, two items are displayed under it. The first
shows what the threshold value means, the second is an edit control showing the
current threshold value. The value is always a number. In the example above, the
Idle Too Long symptom is expanded. The display shows the meaning (Idle Time, in
seconds) and the current threshold (60) for triggering this event.
