Managed Nodes Window The Managed Nodes window is the logical or
system view of the managed environment for which the operator is
responsible. Each node (or group of nodes) is represented by an icon.
VPO changes the color of these icons to reflect the current status of the
node according to the messages received into the Message Browser.

Managed Nodes Window
You can arrange the nodes in the Managed Nodes window in many
different ways. For example, you might group nodes based on their
geographical location (countries, cities, buildings, etc.) or based on logical
components like routers, systems, mainframes, etc. Different node
hierarchies can be defined to ensure that even large computing
environments, with thousands of managed objects, can be controlled
easily. By clicking on an icon in the Managed Nodes window, operators
can locate the managed object that is the source of a message or event.
