Problem Detection
The Problem Detection test checks each discovered device
to determine if it is experiencing any problems. If a
problem is detected, the instrument enters a problem
report in the Problem Log.
The Problem Log is an extremely useful troubleshooting
and management tool because it lets you know what
types of problems are occurring on your network and
specifically identifies which devices are having problems.
Knowing what types of errors are present and where
they are coming from can help you identify the cause of
network problems.
To check for errors:
1.
Select Problem Detection.
The preview pane shows the number of problems
detected in each of the following severity groups:
•
Errors: indicates that a severe problem exists
with the network or the device; the problem is
disrupting or severely impeding normal use.
•
Warnings: indicates that a condition exists
that can possibly cause a problem with the
network or device.
•
Information: indicates that the device or
network is functioning normally, but there is an
event or condition that you need to be aware
of.
•
Resolved: indicates that the problem has been
fixed or that there has a been a change in the
failure state.
The
Deleted category maintains a count of
problems that you delete from the Problem Log (see
“Deleting a Problem from the Log” on page 66).
