23.2.1. Specyfication of searching criterions
23.2.1.1. Default view of the application
Node Browser is accesible through Nodes.
It's created by the following groups: Pings, Network interfaces,
BGP peers and Managed items. Each group includes fields, that in
characteristic way for a given item type allow to specific criterions
of its search. Clicking on the button
lets you run a searching process for a given item. Clicking on the button
allows you to go to detailed view of seleceted
item group.
All groups includes Show/hide matched filed, that can
take on two states: Show or Hide.
The first state means, that items realising searching criterions, are shown
while the second one, that the criterions aren't shown. As a result of search you receive
an item list about which you can receive detailed reports.
All groups also include Show only items with DOWN states field,
that show, whether a final report will be generated for all selected items, or
for the items from among selected one, that in a given period of time were selected
at least for once in DOWN state.
The group includes Name filed in which you can give
a ping object description (given by an administrator) or its part.
IP field allows you to give IP address (or its part)
of searched ping object. Group field allows you to
select a ping object group.
23.2.1.3. Network Interfaces group
The group includes Description field in which you can
give a network interface description (given by an administrator) or its part.
In Interface field you can select an interface name or
its part. Deleted field shows, if interfaces matched as
deleted will be searched.
23.2.1.4. BGP peers group
The group includes Description field in which
you can give a BGP peer description (given by an administrator) or its part.
Peer IP address field allows you to give an IP address
(or its part) of a searched BGP peer. In Peer AS field
you can give a BGP peer number. Deleted
field shows, if BGP peers matched as deleted will be searched.
23.2.1.5. Managed items group
The group includes a field Text in which the user can give
a searched string. Source device field lets choose a device which
managed items will be searched, while the fiels Group lets the user
select a group which managed items belong to. The field Deleted tells
whether also items marked as deleted will be searched.
23.2.2. A specyfication of report components for given items
The view is divided on two parts. The top one includes an items list for which a
report will be prepared. The bottom one includes a report configuration.
Depending on a kind of reports for which a report will be
generated, a list of them will be have a different form but a bottom part of
the view will be the same. There is a detailed report configuration. Reports
will be prepared for items selected in the top part. Particular groups of a
configured report part describe the single report components, that will be
select during a report configuration (i.e. Status shares, Logs).
Common group includes parameters common for other groups (i.e. time range of a report).
Time range group includes parameters relating to a whole report.
23.2.2.1. Status shares group
The group corresponds with the report part, that shows a percentage share of
particular states which a given item can take on. Graph's width and
Graph's height fields let you specify width and height of a graph, that
shows a percentage share of particular states.
23.2.2.2. Status graph group
The group corresponds with the report part, that shows state changes
in a specified period of time which a given item can take on.
Each period occupies field allows you to select a minimum
scale of time axis, and Graph's width and
field let you specify a graph width showing state changes
in a specified period of time.
23.2.2.3. Responses group
The group only concerns ping objects and it isn't shown default in the
reporot, because it is on experimental stage. The fields Graph's width
and Graph's height allow you to specify a graph width and height, that
shows received messages for a ping object. The fields Min RTT,
Avg RTT, Max RTT and Percent of responses
helps you to choose a kind of data, that will be shown on the graph.
The group corresponds with the report part, that shows
entries about particular states of a given item. Results per page
fileds allows you to describe a maximum nuber of entries, that will be presents
for once.
23.2.2.5. Time range group
The group needn't be selected, because it concerns
time range of a whole report. The time range can be specified on two ways:
through choosing of time range, that lasts to a current moment or through
choosing a given date and time in combination with a selected time range
(i.e.: 1 day, 2 days, 1 week, etc.).
The picture shows an exemplary report view for a single item, that consists of
three groups (Status shares, Status graph and Logs).
The beginning of the report, for each selected entry, a heading with description and link
to Node Browser (showing the item) is placed. There is
also a time range for which the report was prepared.
There is a difference in the look of the report prepared for managed items. It includes
information regarding general parameters, which all items have, and parameters specific to the origin
managed item group.
