To display the Novell ZENworks Server Management options, you want to monitor or manage in the left frame, right-click the object. The options available are displayed. Novell ZENworks Server Management provides three main options:
Views are different ways of displaying information. Novell ZENworks Server Management provides a variety of views designed to help you view the information of your network in different ways. The views Server Management provides are:
Atlas: Provides a graphical representation of the discovered network topology, the physical location of nodes, node configuration, and alarm information.
Console: Displays the objects contained in the selected container object. This view is useful while navigating the Novell ZENworks Server Management site.
Trend: Provides a graphical representation of current and historical trend data by hour, day, week, month, or year. Monitoring trend data helps you with tasks such as determining which server is being used, who is using the server, troubleshooting problems, balancing load across multiple servers, and planning resources.
Active Alarms: Provides a tabular display of alarm statistics for all the current alarms received from segments or devices, per management site. This view is refreshed whenever a new alarm occurs on the network.
Alarm History: Provides a tabular display of all archived alarms, including the handled status of each alarm. This view is refreshed whenever a new alarm occurs on the network.
Alarm Summary: Provides a graphical representation of the summary of alarms you have received. The view is divided into three panels of representation: pie chart panel, bar graph pane, and trend panel. Provides a tabular display of all archived alarms, including the handled status of each alarm.
Summary: Provides a tabular information about the selected object's configuration. For example, the summary view for a server object displays information about NetWare Loadable Module™ files, memory usage, adapters, network interfaces, disks and disk controllers, volumes, queues, users, connections, open files, alarms, and installed software.
In addition to these main views, Novell ZENworks Server Management provides additional views for many of the objects in the hierarchy. For example, if you select a memory object, you can select a disk cache view that displays utilization for disk cache memory. For more information on the available views and the specific information displayed in an object view, see Object View Details.
