Add Device Window

Name
The name for the Event View. This is the name that appears on the tab for this view in the Event View panel.
Additional Columns
You can choose one or more of the three standard column choices (System Name, System Location, System Description) or define your own Custom columns. Custom columns can be added for any column from the NSDEVICES table. The NSDEVICES table can be found in the NsSchema.xml file which is located in the
<install directory>\jboss\server\default\
deploy\NetSight\common\nscoreapi.jar
jar file. Within the jar file, the path is com\enterasys\netsight\api\Resources\NsSchema.xml.

One or more columns can be defined as a comma delimited string using the following format:

objName.objField:columnName

  where:

objName.objField is the field name from the NSDEVICES table.
columnName is the name that will appear as the column heading.

For example:

chassisID:Chassis

  NOTE: Device data in the Event View is not dynamically updated as the device's data changes. You will need to Refresh the Event View in order to see any changes.
