Using the FrontEnd
Device Tags Usage
The Device Tags dialog helps the SNMP OID
configuration, simplifying SNMP data manipulation.
The Device Tags window
The Tag Properties Toolbar has 5 buttons:
-
Add Tag: Add a
Raw or a
User tag.
-
Tag Properties: Shows all properties of the selected tag.
-
Remove Tag: Delete all selected tags.
-
Enable All Tags: Marks all scanned/added variables. When
prompted for avoiding Dynamic Table elements, the system will
not select items belonging to dynamic tables. This is necessary
to avoid slowdowns in data acquisition, since dynamic items can
be taken offline anytime.
-
Disable All Tags: Deactivate the server scan for all tags in
this tab.
Below the Tag Properties Toolbar we have the
Search Bar. This bar filters all tags by the
column selected in the Search in drop-down list using the
match expression in the Look For box.
The filter system
Three tabs are found. They classifies all tags:
Below these three tabs, exists a Drag-and-drop grouping
bar. To use it, drag a column header on it. Then, all tags will
group by that column.
You can group tags using more than one column. For example: to
group tags by Tag Type and secondly by Enable
column, drag the Tag Type column to filter and then, drag
the Enable column too. More than two classification are
possible.
When dragging a column to it, two green arrows will appears
indicating the column position. This feature allow you to manage
easily your groups.
Using the Drag-and-drop grouping bar
In the right of a column header you will find a triangle in high
relief for sort tags.
Sorting groups are allowed too. To make this possible, click on the
high relief triangle in the right of each column in the
drag-and-drop grouping bar.
Finally, below the Tag List we have the
Tag Actions Toolbar. This toolbar has only 3
buttons:
-
Scan Performance Tags: Scan the currrent device for
Performance tags.
-
Scan SNMP Objects: Scans the selected device for variables
present in MIB database, adding they in the
Raw tags.
-
Stop Scan: Stop current scan.
