• Alert event filters.
LAN-Alert Viewer
The LAN-Alert Viewer is a Java-based console that provides the capability to manage LAN Alerts. The
viewer presents information regarding:
• Server IP
• Sensor Info
• Event Info
• Sensor Device
• Sensor Number
• Event Severity
The Alert Viewer supports the following actions:
• Configure—Allows you to configure different notification and viewer options.
• Acknowledge—Sets the selected alerts’ “status” to Acknowledge. This means you have seen and are
aware of the alert.
• Delete—Removes the selected alert from the list of alerts.
• Close—Closes the viewer.
• Select All—Selects all alerts, for performing actions on all alerts.
• View Details—Launches the detailed view of the selected alert(s).
For information on how to use the LAN-Alert feature, refer to the online help system installed as part of the
component.
Management Consoles
Server management tools such as Platform Instrumentation Control, Direct Platform Control, and the Client
System Setup Utility run as components within a server management console. Server management consoles
provide the basic functions of establishing connections with remote systems, displaying server or network
status, and launching the tool applications.
Server management consoles range from basic versions that are used with single servers to complex versions
that are used with complex enterprise-wide network systems.
Server Management Consoles
Server Managers are used in small-office environments to manage a single server or a small number of
servers. Server Managers provide the tools to find servers on a network (“discovery”), view multiple servers,
receive LAN-based alerts from the remote servers, and control the security of the server.
The Intel Server Control Console provides a straightforward and inexpensive Server Management Console
when used by itself, within an ActiveX-enabled web browser, or within Microsoft Management Console
(MMC).
Enterprise System Management Consoles
Enterprise System Management Consoles (ESMC) are used in an enterprise-wide environment to manage a
complex organization of networks. They can include performance monitoring, load balancing, optimization,
and traffic analysis.
Hewlett Packard OpenView Network Node Manager † and Computer Associates Unicenter The Next
Generation † are ESMCs that support ISC components. To use the ISC tool modules with an ESMC, select
the appropriate Integration Agent when you are installing the ISC software.
