2.18.3 Checking the status of management relay servers under the local server
In a multi-server configuration, you can use a higher management server to check the hierarchical structure of the management relay servers under the local server, or delete an unnecessary management relay server from the hierarchical structure. You can also check the operation status of each management relay server.
The higher management server displays the hierarchical structure and operation status of each management relay server in the Hierarchical Configuration Under the Local Server and Operation Status panel in the Home module. This information is based on the information reported by the lower management relay servers. The following table lists the information that is reported by lower management relay servers to the higher management server.

#: The date and time at which the management relay server reported the connection information to the higher management server.
The lower management relay server reports the connection information of management relay servers under the server and connection information of the local server to the higher management server.
Checking the hierarchical structure of the management server
The hierarchical structure of the management relay servers under the local server is displayed in a tree structure with the local server at the top of the tree.
Deleting an unnecessary management relay server
You can delete an unnecessary management relay server and the management relay servers under the management relay server from the hierarchical structure. Note that the following information managed by the deleted management relay server will also be deleted from the management server on which deletion was performed.
-
Device information
-
Group of network segments
- Tip
-
The device information are deleted in sequence as the management relay server that manages the devices are deleted from the hierarchical structure.
Checking the detailed information of the management relay server
You can check the detailed information of the management relay server under the local server. The following table lists the information that can be checked.

Judging the operation status
You can set how to judge the operation status to check if management relay servers under the local server are operating properly. There are the following judgment methods:
- The operation status is set to Warning when connection cannot be confirmed for the specified number of days
-
A management relay server whose connection cannot be confirmed for the specified number of days (from 1 to 30 days) are deemed abnormal and its operation status is changed to Warning. In addition, a warning event is issued to the higher management server, and a notification is displayed in the Home module. The operation statuses for the management relay servers lower than the connection-lost management relay server are changed to Unknown because the higher management server cannot acquire the date/time of the final connection notification for those devices.
Select this judgment method if you need to check the operation statuses of the management relay servers under the local server.
- Operation statuses of all the management servers are set to Running
-
The operation status of the management relay servers under the local server are not monitored.
Select this judgment method if you do not need to check the operation statuses of the management relay servers under the local server.
- Tip
-
The Hierarchical Configuration Under the Local Server and Operation Status panel in the Home module can be used to start the operation window of a management relay server in a separate window, or to start remote control. This can be useful when handling an erroneous management relay server.
