Navigating Table Columns

You can sort, show, or hide the columns in some tables in Prime Performance Manager to meet your specific needs. The Web Interface automatically saves your new settings and, thereafter, launches the interface with the new settings.

You can hide table columns in the Prime Performance Manager web interfaces. In the web interface, you can search for specific information and page through long tables by using its Search and Paging features (see Prime Performance Manager Web Interface Content Area).

•To view a tooltip for each column in the table, place the cursor over a column heading. If a cell is too small to show all of its text, place the cursor over the cell to see the full text of the tooltip.

•By default, Prime Performance Manager displays most of the columns in tables, but some columns may be hidden. To:

–Display hidden columns, right-click in the table heading and select the check boxes for the columns you want to display. If you are using the web interface, click the Apply button.

–Hide columns, right-click in the table heading and clear the check boxes for the columns you want to hide. If you are using the web interface, click the Apply button.

•To sort a table based on the data in a column, left-click in the column heading. The Prime Performance Manager alpha-numerically sorts the table from top to bottom, based on the data in the chosen column. To sort the table in reverse order, left-click in the column heading, again.

•The tables in the web interface, display an icon in the column heading to indicate the column on which the table is sorted, and the direction of the sort. The icon displays a triangle if the sort order is ascending (1-9, A-Z), and an inverted triangle if the sort order is descending (Z-A, 9-1).

If you sort a table in the web interface based on the Nodes column, Prime Performance Manager sorts the table, based on the DNS names of the nodes, as the Prime Performance Manager discovers nodes.

However, if you modified your preferences to identify nodes by their user-defined names, then Prime Performance Manager sorts the table, based on the user-defined names of the nodes. For more information, see Changing Web Preference Settings, page 4-3

Displaying Active Alarms and Event History

Active Alarms and Event History allows to view a network summary of active alarms and historical events.

The contents of the Active Alarms window and the Event History window are very similar in appearance. However, the Active Alarms table shows fewer entries than the Event History table because multiple events are associated with a single alarm.

---

Note The appearance and the contents displayed in the Events and Alarms tab are not the same while viewing reports at the node level. For more information see Managing Reports, page 7-1

---

To see a summary of all active alarms, in the Prime Performance Manager web interface, click Active Alarms in the navigation tree. The Prime Performance Manager shows the Active Alarms window in the right pane.

The Active Alarms window provides basic information about all active alarms. Prime Performance Manager updates the information in the window at least once every minute. For more information about the Active Alarms window, see, Toolbar Buttons

To see a summary of all the recent events, in the Prime Performance Manager web interface, click Event History in the navigation tree. The Prime Performance Manager shows the Event History window in the right pane.

For more information about the Event History window see, Toolbar Buttons

If you select a specific node in the navigation tree and click the Alarms tab or Events tab, the Prime Performance Manager shows information about the alarms or events for only that node.

---

Note For more information about sorting, displaying, or hiding columns, see Navigating Table Columns.

---

While using the web interface to select an alarm or event in the table, you check the check box for the row. You can select multiple rows.

To clear the selection, click Clear Selection in the toolbar. In the web interface, use the Shift key to select multiple rows. To clear the selection, left-click anywhere in the table.
