18 EMC Smarts Application Connectivity Monitor User’s Guide
When Application Connectivity Monitor diagnoses a problem or detects an
abnormal condition, it generates a notification. The Global Console displays
notifications in several ways:
• In the tabular format of a Notification Log view.
• In the color state of icons on a map.
Viewing the Properties of a Notification
The Notification Properties dialog box provides detailed information about
individual notifications. There are several methods to display the Notification
Properties dialog box. The most common method is to double-click on a
notification or right-click on a map icon and select Notification Properties in
the context menu.
When open, the Notification Properties dialog box displays one or more of
the following tabs:
• General lists the properties of the notification. Notifications, similar to
topology elements, are objects in the repository of the Global Manager.
As such, their properties are codified as attributes. A notification’s
attributes identify the managed element where the problem occurred,
the severity of the problem, and the underlying domain, or source, that
diagnosed the problem.
• Audit Log lists any actions performed on the notification by the system
or by a user. Actions can include acknowledging, taking ownership,
and invoking a tool.
• Codebook lists the symptomatic events used to diagnose a root cause
problem. A separate Codebook tab is displayed for each underlying
domain that diagnoses the problem as a root cause.
• Impact lists managed elements, if any, that are affected by the
notification.
• Details lists information about the notification from the underlying
domain that sent the notification. Information may include attributes of
the affected element or threshold values and their related attributes.
• Caused By lists the problems or events that are causing the selected
notification. This is the inverse of the Codebook tab.
• Aggregates lists the component events of a notification.

EMC Smarts Service Assurance Manager Operator’s Guide.
