Figure 2-5 ISM Event Log Panel
To view help for a message, position the cursor on a message and press PF1.
To return to the Activity Log Browse panel ( Figure 2-4) and change the Search Rules, press PF3.
To view earlier event records, press PF7.
To view later (more current) event records, press PF8.
Using ISM Status Panels
The following subsections describe how to monitor network resources using the following ISM panels:
•
•
•
Using the ISM Status Summary Panel
The ISM Status Summary panel monitors the status of ISM managed resources. You can view the status by resource type and the number of resources in the selected status condition.
This section describes how to use the ISM Status Summary panel to perform the following tasks:
•
•
•
Viewing the ISM Status Summary Panel
To view the ISM Status Summary panel, on the ISM main menu panel, position the cursor on the SUM line and press Enter. The first panel of the ISM Status Summary ( Figure 2-6) is displayed.
Figure 2-6 ISM Status Summary—First Panel
Viewing Detailed Resource Information
To display detailed resource information, position the cursor on a resource type condition and press Enter.
Viewing the Total Number of ISM Resources
To use the ISM Status Summary panel to display the total number of ISM managed resources, position the cursor on the Total field for resources, then press Enter. ISM lists all ISM managed resources.
If there is a performance (PERF) or alert condition for your selected resource field, only resources in that condition are displayed.
Viewing Resources by Group
To use the ISM Status Summary panel to view resources categorized by group, enter the group name in the Group field, then press Enter. ISM displays resources for that group. Figure 2-7 shows a sample summary screen for group ALL.
Figure 2-7 ISM Status Summary Panel—Second Panel
If your operator's profile is authorized for resource group filters, you can view only the group names within that profile. See the "Enabling Monitoring Options for Multiple Routers" section for more information.
Using the Resource Status Panel
To monitor resources, in the ISM main menu panel ( Figure 2-1) position the cursor on the MGR line and press Enter. The Resource Status panel ( Figure 2-3) is displayed, showing the status of all resources managed by ISM.
The Resource Status panel provides the following features:
•
•
•
To diagnose a resource condition from the Resource Status panel, position the cursor on a resource to diagnose and press PF5. ISM automatically displays the appropriate diagnostic panel for resource condition, such as NetView's NPDA for troubleshooting hardware problems.

Using the ISM Activity Log
The ISM Activity Log records ISM events. When ISM resources change status, or you update their definitions, the ISM activity log records the event. It maintains both primary and secondary logs. When the active log is full, a secondary log automatically becomes active.
You can view the contents of the active or inactive logs, and indicate a date and time range to view events. Once you open the log, you can change the review date and time range.
Viewing the ISM Activity Log
To view the ISM Activity Log, select the Activity Log option on the ISM main menu, then click Submit to display the browse menu for the active ISM log ( Figure 2-13).
