Overview of the MWTM Web Interface
The MWTM web interface shows basic information about the events and objects that the MWTM manages.
Figure 11-1 MWTM Web Interface
The MWTM web interface shows these panes:
MWTM Web Interface Navigation Tree
You can easily navigate the features of the MWTM web interface by using the navigation tree in the left pane. To view detailed information about a selection in the navigation tree, click the item in the tree. The content area in the right pane shows details about the selected item. A plus (+) or minus (-) just to the left of the item indicates whether the item has subtending items under its domain.
The MWTM automatically updates the navigation tree when changes occur to discovered nodes or to the network. When any changes occur in the MWTM client navigation tree, the MWTM web interface reflects these changes in its navigation tree. For example, if you delete a node in the MWTM client, the MWTM web interface removes that node from its navigation tree.

(If you restart the server, the MWTM creates a new file.)
To view archived messages, click a timestamp. The System Messages Archive: Last number All Messages page appears, which shows all messages that were in the system log at the specified timestamp.
Note
You might observe an entry labeled messageLog-old among a list of files that have timestamps in the filenames. A daily cron job creates the files with the timestamps. The cron job, which runs at midnight, searches through the messageLog.txt and messageLog-old.txt files for all entries from the past day. The messageLog-old.txt file exists only if the size of messageLog.txt exceeds the limit set by the mwtm msglogsize command. The MWTM lists the contents of messageLog-old.txt because it could contain important data from the day the message log file rolled over.
