The Active Status panel at the bottom of the Inventory Manager main window presents a chronological summary of operations that Inventory Manager has performed, including archive saves and restores, firmware/boot PROM upgrades, and reset device operations. As operations take place, the Active Status is updated with specific information about each event, and the status (results) of the operation. The Active Status panel lists operations performed by all Inventory Manager clients connected to the server.
The panel presents the status in two different views: Summary and Details. Use the buttons at the top of the panel to select the desired view. The Summary view lists the operations that have been performed, while the Details view lists the individual devices the operations have been performed on. If you select an operation in the Summary view then switch to the Details view, the corresponding device entries are highlighted. For even more detailed information about each entry, select the entry, then right-click and select View from the menu to open a Properties window.
Entries remain in the Active Status panel until you restart the application. If the Active Status panel reaches a total of 1000 entries, the 500 oldest entries will be automatically purged. You can delete entries by right-clicking and selecting Purge from the menu. Deleting an entry causes that entry and all older entries to be purged. You cannot delete entries from the middle of the table because that would disrupt the sequence of events.
To stop an operation, select the operation entry, then right-click and select Abort from the menu. Any part of the operation that is currently in progress will complete before the operation is terminated.
