Diagnostic Support
netSENTINEL's unique graphical interface provides a high level, business view of the status of your IT environment. The Navigator also provides support to quickly isolate faults and pinpoint trouble areas. While all alerts are conveniently listed in one screen with details and a direct link to the affected device, the graphical Navigator provides intuitive alert information showing fault status at a glance. The drill-down Navigator expands each sub-level to expose devices within a group that are impacted by the Alert condition and identify the specific area of failure or threshold condition.
All Alerts are captured, listed and stored indefinitely. Alerts include an assigned sequential number, current status information, a fault or threshold description, device details, time stamp and contact information. Each Alert has an embedded link to the affected device for quick navigation. Alerts are considered Current until they are acknowledged. Once acknowledged, they are moved from the Current Alerts screen to the Historical Alerts screen.
Navigator - Top Level - All Zones
The network Navigator also indicates alerted conditions through the graphical drill-down interface. Alerts are indicated in red through the layers of the navigator to provide information on the location of the Alerted device relative to the infrastructure and the business services impacted.

Detailed current status and historical information is available to support root cause analysis. Time selectable network traffic, bandwidth utilization, port / link speeds and up/down metrics are all available at the click of a mouse through the intuitive representation of each network device. Performance metrics for the Core Switch shown below are available at the switch level by clicking on the device, at the blade level by clicking on the blade, or at the port level clicking on a port. Performance metrics are selectable by user defined time periods.
The Network Device Interface for a switch shows used and unused ports, with drill down from aggregate to port level performance metrics.
