    Nodes
    Nodes represent the options available in your system. There are three basic 
    nodes available from the Root pane. The Root pane is the starting point for 
    performing all Performance Management tasks, since all other nodes branch off 
    from these three nodes. Click once on the Root node in the left pane to expand it 
    to show the following nodes:
    Expandable 
    Nodes
    Within the “tree” of nodes and icons in the left pane, you can show (expand) or 
    hide (collapse) the options below the node by clicking on the plus sign or the 
    minus next to the node, where:
    • A plus (+) sign means the node is collapsed and can be expanded; clicking on 
    it expands the node to show any sub-components.
    • A minus (-) sign means the node is expanded and can be closed; clicking on it 
    collapses all of its sub-components.Node DescriptionMaster Event log Represents the master log of events for all inactive 
    and active objects. See 
    Chapter 8, 
    Event Log
     for 
    more information.
    Performance 
    ManagementRepresents the Performance Management 
    application. Expands to show more nodes where you 
    can define system-wide parameters.

    Alert Indicators
    Alert indicators are visual cues of any problems in the DEFINITY system. Alerting 
    is also used by the NMS to indicate any problems associated with a specific 
    managed node. There are different levels of alerts that have corresponding 
    warnings, as indicated by the shape and color of the alert indicator. You can tell at 
    a glance by looking at the alert indicators in the left pane where problems are and 
    the severity of the problem.
    Color Scheme
    Changing the colors on your terminal can affect the look of your icons. See your 
    system administrator or account executive for help.

    Introduction
    One of the features of Performance Management is the ability to track the 
    performance of a managed node through reports you can generate for various 
    aspects of the system. In order to run reports that help track the system, you must 
    first specify the data to collect for those reports. 
    This chapter describes how to collect report data in the following ways:
    • Specify default collection parameters that are used across all managed nodes
    • Specify customized collection parameters for a specific managed node
    • Specify when data should be collected
    • Specify what types of data to collect
    • Specify how long collected data should be stored
    Saving Changes
    You can save all of the collection parameters for all of the tabs one time making 
    the changes to each tab, then click 
    Save
     when you have finished with all of the tab 
    settings.
