The following table describes the properties displayed in the details pane for a managed Windows system. Use this table to help you interpret and enter data in the details pane.
| Property | Definition |
| Class | Indicates the fully qualified class of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only. |
| Instance | Indicates the fully qualified instance of the object. Used to match events reports to the object. This property is read-only. |
| Label | Specifies the name that identifies this managed object in a topology. |
| Persist | Controls whether or not this object is retained when the Operations Sentinel Services are terminated. Use the arrow ( |
| Notes | A multiline property that you can use however you choose. You can alter its value by running the SPO.MakeNote external application for the managed device. |
| Default Action | Indicates the external application that is initiated when you double-click the Windows system or press Enter while it is selected in a table or topology. Use the arrow ( The default action you specify for an individual system has precedence over the default action specified for the class. |
| Identifier | Specifies the name of the Windows system preceded by the names of the objects that contain it. For example, the identifier of a system in a server is server.system. This property is read-only. |
| Image | Displays the image that represents the system in a topology. The default value of this property is the default specified for the Windows Systems object class. To select an image different from the default,
click the arrow ( See Changing the Image Property for an example of how to use this property. |
| Name | Indicates the name by which the Windows system is known within Operations Sentinel. The name is used in alerts and log files to identify the system; it is also the image label for the system in a topology. You can rename a Windows system by editing this property. The name of the new system
After you rename a Windows system, messages and event reports for the system are written to log files with the new name. However, any existing Operations Sentinel log files for that system are not renamed. Note: For distributing Windows policy, the name should be same as the Windows system name for which the policy is being distributed. |
| Server | Specifies the server the system belongs to. Use the arrow ( |
| Tag | A property that your site can use however you choose. You do not need to specify a Tag value when you define a Windows system. You might want to use the Tag property as an identifier to make filtering of managed objects easier. A consistent scheme for Tag values can eliminate the need for complex filters or naming conventions. See Setting the Tag Propertyfor an example of how to use this property. |
| Console Server | Specifies the network name or IP address of the device used to remotely access the Local Desktop, such as Unisys Console Manager or another network console management device. You can specify a network name or IP address by editing this property. |
| Monitor | Specifies whether
the communication link between the Windows system and the Operations
Sentinel server is monitored by Operations Sentinel. Use the arrow
(
When the value is False, the connection is not monitored; however, the Windows Agent can still raise alerts against the system. Typically you set Monitor to False if a Windows system is switched off frequently (for example, at the end of every day), but you want to receive alerts from the system whenever it is up. The value of Monitor does not affect logging of messages for the system. See Setting the Monitor Propertyfor additional information on enabling or disabling monitoring. |
| External Network Name | Specifies the Internet name of the system. The External Network Name is made available to external applications launched for a Windows system workstation running Operations Sentinel Console. The default external network name is typically the same as the network name of the system. However, these names might differ if the workstation running Operations Sentinel Console uses a different name to identify the system than the Operations Sentinel server does. You can specify a different External Network Name by editing this property. The external network name must be included in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, in the Domain Name Server, or in the Windows Internet Naming Service. Before you edit the External Network Name value, it is recommended that you first add or change the desired name in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, in the Domain Name Server, or in the Windows Internet Naming Service. |
| Network Name | Specifies the Internet name of the Windows system. The Network Name value is used to make a connection to a Windows system. The network name must be in the hosts file on each Operations Sentinel workstation, in the Domain Name Server, or in the Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS). The default network name is the same as the name of the system. You can specify a different Network Name by editing this property. The Network Name property value must be unique; another Windows system cannot have the same network name. Before you edit the Network Name property value, it is recommended that you first add or change the desired name in the hosts file on each Operations Sentinel workstation, in the Domain Name Server, or in the WINS. If you add a new Windows system or change the name in Operations Sentinel Console before you add or change it in the hosts file on the Operations Sentinel server, in the Domain Name Server, or in the Windows Internet Naming Service, you must either Both of these options automatically force the system to reestablish a connection and recognize the changes you made. |
| Service Processor | Specifies if this Windows system acts as a Service Processor. ES7000 Systems and ClearPath Enterprise Systems use Service Processors to control their hardware. These Service Processors are Windows systems which Operations Sentinel can monitor. Use the arrow (
|
| Connection State | Displays the state of the connection between the Operations Sentinel server and the system. This value affects the display of the connection line to the system in topologies. The value is one of the following:
If the state of the connection is Disconnected or Unknown, an alert is raised. This property is read-only. |
| Console State | Displays the state of the Windows Resource Monitor on the system. The value is either
This property is read-only. |
| Policy Current | Indicates whether the version of the resource policy on the monitored system is the same as the version of the policy on the Operations Sentinel server. The value is True if the version of the policy on the monitored system matches the version of the policy on the Operations Sentinel server. Otherwise the value is False. |
| Policy Enabled | Indicates whether the Windows Resource Monitor is using the policy to monitor the system. The value is True if the resource monitor agent is using the policy to monitor the system. Otherwise the value is False. |
| Resource Policy | Indicates the name of the resource policy that is loaded on the monitored system. A resource policy dictates what resources should be monitored and the conditions under which alerts should be sent to Operations Sentinel. |
| Agent Version
| Displays the agent level of the Windows Resource Monitor running on the Windows system. If the Agent Level is “blank”, either WRM is not connected to Operations Sentinel or the version of WRM is prior to WRM 12.0. |
| Service Processor State | If this Windows systems acts as a Service Processor, this property displays the state of the Service Processor. The value is one of the following:
This property is read-only. |
| Agent State | Displays the agent connection state of the Windows Resource Monitor running on the Windows system. The following are the possible values of the Agent State:
|
