Object Status
When an object is first added to the map, the device is “offline.” If an object's monitor flag is enabled, EliteView
will begin polling the device immediately. When the object first responds, device status changes to “online” and a
“device up” event is generated. If an object fails to respond within the specified timeout and retry limits, device
status changes to “offline” and a “connection lost” event is generated. Changes in the status of objects at lower
hierarchal levels in the network map are also reflected in the icons at higher levels (i.e., submap icons change color
to reflect changes in subordinate devices).
Note: To post changes in object status to the Report window, specify Device Up or Connection Lost in the Action
list for the Event Manager. For more information on defining event responses, see Managing Events,
Chapter 8.
Map Limitations
EliteView maps are designed without any arbitrary program limitations. Practical limits are set by the available
system resources.
