Agent Statistic
Purpose
After selecting one of the active agents in the management network, this dialog presents the polling statistic for all NEs assigned to it.
The data provides information on the current state of the management communication to the NEs as well as a history of past failures. This allows judging the reliability of the management network and detecting problems with alarm flooding.
This dialog is called from the Agent’s context menu under NEM Configurator → NE Browser.
