2.3 Database Management
The following information is stored in the EMS database.
• Event and access logs
• EMS configuration
• Device configuration and status information
Use the Database Management screens to back up logs and EMS and SNMPc configurations
and restore selected backed up files.
2.3.1 Database Synchronization
The EMS is able to synchronize the device tree and device status information with SNMPc.
This means that when you add a device in EMS, the same change also applies in SNMPc and
the new device icon is created in both the EMS and SNMPc screens. In addition, device status
changes are reflected in both the EMS and the SNMPc screens.
EMS database is synchronized:
• when you launch the Switch Manager screen.
• when you click
Map > Sync Map DB in EMS.
• automatically everyday at mid-night (this schedule is not configurable).
2.3.2 Filename Convention
The EMS follows a pre-defined naming convention for backup files. Data is backed up in plain
text format with a “txt” filename extension. The general structure of the filename is
<type>.txt
(for example,
AccessLog.txt
).
