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. By default, the navigation tree is sorted by alarm severity, with objects having the most severe alarms appearing at the top of the tree.


Note To learn more about alarm severity, see Chapter 9, "Managing Alarms and Events."


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 chosen 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.


Note For information about the navigation tree in the MWTM client interface, see MWTM Client Navigation Tree, page 4-19.

To access the System Message Archives: All Messages page, use one of these options. Click:

Message Archives from the Administrative page.

Archives from the web page menu bar, if visible.

On the System Message Archives: All Messages page, messages are archived by timestamp. Each archived file contains all MWTM system messages for a single session for the server to which you are connected, and which is currently running the MWTM server. (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 logsize 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.
