The Monitoring pane in the Essentials 2007 console provides users a method to find relevant monitoring data to take appropriate actions to maintaind a healthy network. The Monitoring pane displays various aspects of monitoring data that Essentials 2007 collects. Each object in the Monitoring pane is either a view type or a folder that contains a collection of views. The Find, Search, and Scope buttons on the Operations Console allow users to manage that data.

The views displayed directly under the Monitoring node are global views that provide information on your entire environment. The folders listed in the navigation pane are containers for views defined either within a Management Pack or administrator defined custom views. The feature folders are created when Essentials 2007 is installed. The folders that contain views from Management Packs are created when the Management Pack is imported and are named after the Management Packs.

You cannot delete the folders or views that are created during Essentials 2007 installation or from imported Management Packs. You can personalize these views by using the Personalize View feature in the Essentials 2007 Action pane. Additionally, you can hide folders by selecting Show or hide views, which is located just above the navigation buttons.  Make your selections by clearing the appropriate check boxes in the Show or hide views window.

In a future post, I will talk more about how to manage Monitoring Data
