Properties Tab (Date/Time)

Depending on your selection in the left panel, this tab contains either a table listing the date and time information for all the devices within the currently selected group or only the date and time information for the currently selected single device.

When a device or device group is selected from the left panel, the Properties tab shows a table listing date and time information for your selection.

At the top left of the tab, there is a menu button that provides the following options:

  • Status Poller Options -  opens a window where you can specify options for polling devices in the left-panel device tree. Console uses the polling options and poll groups defined here to contact the devices and update tree information.
  • PropView Options - opens a window where you can specify options that define the SNMP polling parameters and appearance of the Properties tab in Console.

Click table headings for more information.
