9 • Monitoring Managed Objects
Introduction
Managed objects save information about an element in the network database. The NMS also monitors status
polling, data collection & threshold collection for managed objects. You can view a list of managed objects by
clicking on
Network Database
in the menu tree on the left side of the screen, and then
Managed Objects
.
This chapter describes viewing the various properties of managed objects. It also covers other aspects of the
Network Database
section of the NMS interface, such as Other Objects which includes DS0 Maps and
Inband Channels.
Working with Managed Objects
Click on
Network Database > Managed Objects
in the main menu tree to view a full list of managed objects
in the network. Right-click on a device in the Managed Objects table to view a device-specific menu for config-
uring that device. The device-specific menu also appears as a toolbar at the top of the screen when you select a
device in the table. All Managed Objects have a sub-menu with an option to
UnManage
and device-specific
tasks.
