5.8 Guide function
The guide function displays information relating to the type and status of a monitoring node in the Monitoring Tree window or Visual Monitoring window.
Using this function, you can view troubleshooting advice, such as action procedures and response methods for various errors, in accordance with the type and status of the monitoring object or group. For example, you can register troubleshooting procedures as guide information for each of the jobs in a monitoring group associated with a jobnet. This makes it easy to find pertinent information in a crisis. You can also use the guide function to describe the particular job that a monitoring node is associated with, and the specific aspects it is monitoring, and to accumulate operating know-how as guide information. Utilizing guide information in this way, as reference material when a problem occurs, lessens the system administrator's workload at the initial response stage.
