5.5 Visual monitoring

Creating and editing Visual Monitoring windows

You can create and edit a Visual Monitoring window to suit your purpose. This is useful for localized monitoring of specific nodes only (such as a node related to operations at the Kyushu branch office, for example).

The Visual Monitoring window supports the display of background images and Visual Icon. We recommend that you use these tools to create highly flexible Visual Monitoring windows.

You can perform the following operations:

  • Set or edit a Visual Monitoring window name.

  • Set or edit comments about a Visual Monitoring window.

  • Arrange nodes, set attributes, change the monitoring status, or perform a search in a Visual Monitoring window.

  • Change the background image.

Use the Visual Monitoring (Editing) window for creating or editing a Visual Monitoring window.

Monitoring operations in the Visual Monitoring window

You can perform the following operations in the Visual Monitoring window:

  • Launch a Monitoring Tree window.

  • Perform operations from a pop-up menu.

    You can also perform the following operations in the same way as in the Monitoring Tree window:

    - Change the node status

    - Change the monitoring status

    - Conduct a search

    - Display guidance

    - Search for status change events

    - Display properties

When the monitoring range settings are enabled for a monitoring tree, they also affect the Visual Monitoring window display. For example, if a Visual Monitoring window contains a node that the user is not permitted to access, it will not appear when the window is displayed.
