The Historic chart displays up to four data sets as follows:

  • Adds: Indicates the quantity number of new Issues issues for each time period.
  • Same: indicates Issues the time period that remains from the preceding time period.
  • Cleared: Indicates Issues that have been cleared from the system due to administrative remediation or other causes.
  • Suppressed: Shows the relative quantity of Issues that have been suppressed due to admin configuration of Issues that may be deemed to produce excessive notifications in each time period. Issues count for each time an increment appear as stacked bars in the chart. Move the mouse over any colored bar section to view the count for that Issue type.

  • E-mail: E-mail notifications can be sent to one or more network personnel.
  • Syslog message: Syslog messages enable integration with other network management tools, and allow NetMRI issues to be logged with other network activities. A syslog notification is a single formatted text line sent to a syslog server using UDP (usually to port 514).
  • SNMP traps: SNMP notifications are sent as SNMP traps, which are fixed formatted SNMP messages defined by a corresponding SNMP MIB. In this case, the MIB defines the format of the notification trap because NetMRI is generating the trap.

The Settings icon –> > Notifications section –> > Defaults page enables users with appropriate privileges to define the settings used for all new notifications. Generally, the formatting defaults provided by NetMRI are sufficient, but the default servers and destinations are network-specific.

Group-based Issue Suppression settings recognize Device Group priority settings. NetMRI suppresses an Issue for any device if the Issue Suppression is enabled for the highest-ranking device group to which the device belongs. For example, consider a device that belongs to two device groups, Firewalls, and Routing. Under Settings > Issue Analysis > By Device Groups, you will see that Firewalls is the highest-ranking device group. Should a particular Issue be suppressed in that device group, all devices participating in that group will have that Issue suppressed, regardless of the suppression settings in any lower-ranked device group to which the device(s) belong.
