7.1. Functionality

Network Manager makes possible:

  • auto discovering of devices included in monitored networks and adding them to the managed device database;

  • visualization of monitored network topologies according to data gathered from managed devices through SNMP protocol;

  • monitored device states visualization (states of network interfaces, BGP sessions);

  • visualization of responses of monitored devices for ICMP ECHO packets sent by the management station (similary as ping command);

  • creation objects that represent service, node etc., which state depends on states of other objects and services stored in the database;

  • running directly from presented topology maps the most suitable control panels for selected devices and other graphic applications of David system;

  • designing graphic interfaces to control network devices that supply SNMP protocol; appearance of each interface and its functionality depend on an end-user invention (every control panel is written as a separate file);

  • real-time monitoring (considering speed of computer networks and polling interval) of devices work parameters and controlling its work, through generated application - control interface to a particular device;

  • visualization of network device work parameters through a generated application - interface to a particular device;

  • collecting current parameters of monitored devices work using SNMP protocol;

  • presenting collected data as graphs available in Web site;

  • sending collected data to Operation Manager; it makes possible to detect potential problems in early phase.

  • management of David system user accounts (creation and modification of user accounts).

  • management of David system user groups (creation and modification of user groups and classifing user groups as selected groups);

  • creation an access policy to component elements of the system for particular users and user groups.
